All of us have busy lives, but why is it when winter arrives, we'd rather sit in front of the boob tube (there's a cultural anomaly! There are no tubes in our television sets anymore, so there goes the "tube," and since the new gen of TVs are all connectable to computers, there's a case to be made for losing the "boob" as well. But I digress)? Where was I? Oh yeah, sitting around growing blubber all winter. Well, rather than continuing that trend, herewith are some suggestions for mostly outdoor activities – emphasis on activity! – that are worth rising off the recliner or couch, getting dressed appropriately, and heading out into that cold, clean, fresh winter air.

There's plenty to love about Long Island, but proximity to quality ski mountains is not one of its perks. Skiers either go through the city or take the ferry, and that adds up to many hours in which you'd love to be tackling a circle, square, or diamond, whichever is more your speed.

I have spent a morning or two, exhausted and shoeless, standing in an airport bomb detector after being groped by a TSA agent, all because the New York State DMV apparently doesn't see "Christopher" as a common enough name to be able to fit the whole thing on my driver's license. Even so, I really have no problem with the increased security measures at our airports. But if you can avoid the hassle, why not?
