Unless it hit like minus 20 we were tossed outside for a good hour or two first of all because we were getting on our parents nerves, and second of all because as my mom famously said, you'll warm up if you keep moving, and my dad would famously said shovel the damn sidewalk.
the other thing I guess that made it easy, back then, there just wasn't much on T.V. and usually the food stuff was on after dinner, and we didn't have much in the way of video games unless you were a pong addict or a tank war addict.
This winter wasn't overly cold except for maybe a month, other then that it was pretty seasonal, and that's the way its been for a while now.
I get it, with parents now days, the T.V. and the internet are the best brain sucking baby sitters out there when they're tired at the end of the day, and I get that parents have bought into the hype of a murdering pedophile around every corner, but if we let our kids get fat they're slower and easier to catch. We need to be building a generation of high speed, a$$ kickers instead.
