If you haven’t guessed yet, I am the loser.

Not only did my wife paint my face in the hated purple & gold colors of death, it seems my face is having a nasty little reaction after washing it off. Meanwhile my camerawoman/wife was questioning her choice of spouses as she wondered how the hell a sexy, successful woman like herself wound up painting her fat husband and watching him embarrass himself on camera for all to see. Truthfully, I wonder what the hell she’s doing with me too.

So here I am in all my awfulness. JR, Jack, I know you’ll have fun with this. That’s OK. I’ve steeled myself for the mockery. Enjoy yourselves fellas, you won:

Such was the case two weeks ago when the Patriots took on the Baltimore Ravens. A good friend and fellow daddy blogger, Joeprah, is a huge Ravens fan and I won a bet with him earlier in the  year when the Pats beat the Ravens. So of course we had to do something again.

This time, I thought it would be funny if the loser (and I was sure that was going to be Joeprah) had to make up a cheer praising the other team. And, as is now customary, we end it with 10 on camera push-ups.

Well, the Ravens killed the Patriots. Slaughtered them actually. And that left me looking down the wrong end of a bad bet.

So without further ado, I give you the video for which you will all be making fun of me for the rest of my life. But at least Will is cute and saves it. Enjoy my misery.

When I woke up, this is what I saw when I attempted to go outside:

After spending 5 minutes shoving on the door and making an opening wide enough to squeeze my fat ass out the door, I spent the next hour shoveling because my condo association takes so damn long to get things done:

Here’s the view off our back deck:

When the shoveling was done, it was time to play. And right now I’d like to take time to thank our godsend Kimberly who just this week found us a hand me down LL Bean snowsuit that fits Will perfectly. See?

What can I say? When you live in the northeast you have to teach them shoveling skills early. But it wasn’t all work, we did have some fun. Here’s my throne fit for a king:

Not to mention Haley the Dumbest Golden Retriever in the World was quite happy with the white stuff. Even if it was over her head:

And how about one more unbelievably cute picture of Cape Cod’s next greatest show snoveler?

Before I leave you with an annoying video of me bragging about my shoveling job and pointing out high snow drifts, I just want to say that I LOVE SNOW! It is one of my favorite things and one of the big reasons I could never live anywhere else but here. Big snowstorms are just great. I wish it was Snowman Snow but alas, it’s the fluffy powder. Oh well. Still very fun.

Happy shoveling and enjoy a white Christmas!
