Day #4 of a 31 day power ranking push. Today's blog is brought to you by the 12:30 cup of coffee I just drank. We're doing a little season ranking today. Not like football season or #DartySzn but more so the actual seasons that identify the weather and what go on year-round. Keep in mind, my season takes are based as a guy who lives in Michigan. My views may differ from someone in New York or Alabama but that is why I am addicted to power ranking things. They can get so damn contentious.
4. Winter- The first snowfall is cool and pretty until your 15-minute commute to work is suddenly 30 minutes. Once you get past Christmas winter is just weeks and weeks of super cold and short days. Has anyone ever said, “Man I love going to work in the dark and going home in the dark?” I didn’t think so. Shoveling snow is the absolute worst too. The only saving grace for winter is that I can play pond hockey and sit inside and watch sports. If you’re 9 or a big-time skier, you like winter but if you don’t fall into those 2 categories you hate winter too.
3. Spring- A season that is a lot like fall except uglier and shittier. One day it’s freezing, the next day it’s a rain/snow mix and then it’s 65 degrees and sunny, zero consistency with the weather. I will tip my hat to spring for having some good sporting events but that doesn’t excuse it being muddy all the time. I just want to be able to consistently wear shorts and I am getting no help with this.
2. Fall- Is there a region of the United States that has a better fall atmosphere than the Midwest? I mean maybe the New England regions, but they don’t have nearly enough cornfields. Fall in the Midwest literally translates to wears flannel and drinks Busch light. If you’re a guy like me weekends are spent at football tailgates or on the couch watching football or if you’re a guy like me with a girlfriend you’re at the local orchard/pumpkin patch. Pumpkin spice everything, am I right? I just gave myself goosebumps thinking of a mid-October Saturday morning that’s cold but not cold at the same time. You all know what I’m talking about.
1. Summer- Imagine it’s a Friday during June, your boss tells you to pack up and call it a day at noon and then hit the golf course. You finish a very below average round of 18 and make your way to the 19th hole for a few more drinks. It’s78 degrees with not a cloud in sight. This is summer. Whether you’re a beach person, golfer, boater, road tripper or whatever you want to label yourself as. The summer is perfect for doing whatever with the people you like the most.Outdoor concerts happen, days at the ballpark or weeks at the lake house. There’s just so much to do. This was a clear cut #1 for me.
