It,s no big deal about the snow and swimsuit, if an accumulation of the white stuff occurs.( I still do not think it will happen.) It has never happened in February....but if it does, yours truly will be up for a place in the Guiness Book as "The first man, over seventy, EVER to lie down in snow in the month of February and make a rather large snow angel in a yard in the coastal city of Rockport, Texas". (The way it may appear in the record book)
Think of it! Overshadowing even the super bowl being in Texas Sunday! First I will make all the big talk shows such as Oprah and Regis. I will then be whisked off to ABC,CBS,NBC for a quick interview. Radio shows will be booking me as I describe the entire event. Finally, I will be approached by Hollywood.....they want to do a movie called " The Oldest Snow Angel" or maybe "The Abominable Snowman". After the movie's success there will come the Saturday morning kiddies show to replace "Sponge Bob and Square Pants". it will probably be named something like "Paw Paw And The Snow Bunnies". My thirty minutes of fame, plus, lurks just over the sage brush and cactii toward Mexico. If the snow comes I am in the chips! If it doesn't come I will become famous as the weather guru who challenged the big guys during "snowfest eleven"...... and won!
But fame, like beauty, is fleeting. A year from now no one will remember. The show will get cancelled in August. Who cares about snow then? Regis will be off to a senior citizen home. Ophra will be trying to save her new TV channel. Bill and Dale will be headed for larger jobs in Chicago where predicting snow is never in doubt.I will be roaming about in Wal Mart, hoping someone will remember and want a picture with me.
I am already wishing for life as it once was. I am already tired of the celebrity world and all that easy money. Maids and yardmen and Mercedes cars are not what I thought they would be. But....we can't go back again. Ever.
