Where are his pants?

It occurred to me at lunch today the my neighbors, well those who are up at 5am anyway, must be wondering about me. Here's why.

I get up a 4:15am -ish every day so that I can be to the gym by, with any luck, 5:15am. I get up that early so I can wake up, have a little coffee and mentally prepare myself for a workout. I always check out side to see if it's snowed over night so that I can clean the walk off for the dog. He's a dachshund, short legs and all, so I like to give him a little clearance for the underbelly. Anyway, two days this week we've been dumped on with snow and I've had to shovel before I left for the gym.

I take my work clothes for the day in my gym bag and on hangers in the car. So when I leave the house its usually in shorts, a t-shirt and my Nikes. This morning when I saw the snow I grabbed my parka and gloves and went to work on the snow. Keep in mind that the parka is long, like about to my knees. As I was shoveling away 3 or 4 cars went down the street. It occurred to me at lunch today that it must have appeared that I had no pants on cuz my parka went below my gym shorts but my legs were showing. I had to wonder if what the people who drove past me this morning, and the people that drove past me earlier in the week must have thought....is he not wearing pants?

Well just for the record, for those of you in my neighborhood who might have seen me shoveling and anyone else....YES, I HAD PANTS ON!

I'm thinking that if it snows again tonite I'd better just put some sweats on over the shorts!
