Nov 27 If you could bottle up the perfect day, what would it look like?
From out of the sky drops a day with no obligations, no commitments, no have-tos, no lists: snow day. Living in the country, we are isolated until the plows come through. As long as I have electricity, snow days are the best.
One of my daughters went to Coe College where each spring they have Flunk Day, when the student-body president calls off classes and the whole campus cuts loose for a sixteen-hour party, complete with carnival games and free beer. Students may speculate, but until 6 a.m. on the day itself, Flunk Day is kept secret. The key feature of the day is its surprise factor.
I don't need the Tilt-a-Whirl and Budweiser, but unplanned permission to drop everything is my idea of a perfect day.
At Wartburg we had Outfly. Oh, how I long for an adult version with zero responsibilities. (Snow days as a mom don't hold quite the appeal of complete freedom.)
