A Suggestion For Wally

As faithful Blog readers know, Wally - my friend and colleague at the DU Bookstore - would like to move to Halifax, Nova Scotia when he retires, but his wife Linda is not too enthused about the idea.  Linda seems to think it might be a bit nippy up there, and is also not crazy about Wally's plan to sit and read by the fireplace in their seaside cottage while Linda runs around town buying groceries and running errands.  I suggested to Wally today that he surprise Linda with a trip to Halifax this February.  It is a beautiful time of year to visit. Wally and Linda could even attend the Hypothermia Half Marathon ("see your breath as you attempt to catch it") taking place there Sunday, February 10th. I guarantee that Linda will be left speechless after an event like that.
