Merengue

Hi,
Who knew Latin music could be so hot? For snow shoveling, it's the best. Ten inches of snow, so far today and four hours of snow moving, merengue makes it all okay.  I can dance and shovel snow to the rhythm of the beat. No partner required.

We are in the middle of a snow storm, number three or four of the season, I've lost count. Snow shoveling is at least a two to three hour event at our place, four hours if it's heavy wet snow. The size of our drive way is enormous, 160' long, double wide for most of it, triple wide for the top 50'. Two walk ways just incase you aren't tired enough. My music gets me through it all. My back may not be happy with me tomorrow but nothing an Advil, hot shower and some scotch can't cure. Merengue got me going and kept me at it, three shovelings today.

I listen to lots of different music. Brazilian samba, bluegrass, classical, jazz, hip-hop, it's all good, but merengue is best for shoveling snow. It just the right beats per minute for shoving snow around. It grooves perfectly. I can shovel forever with merengue in my earphones. Unfortunately my body isn't that obliging. I am going to ache tomorrow!

The snow is still falling and it will for most of the night. I will have to give the driveway one more pass tomorrow but I will do it with merengue in my ears... One, two, three, four.....
