Things To Do in Michiana
The Virtue of Mirth…as explained by old theologians!
"Augustine says: 'I pray thee, spare thyself at times: for it becomes a wise person sometimes to relax the high pressure of attention to work.' (De Musica ii, 15) Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists in playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous person to have recourse to such things at times. Moreover the Philosopher assigns to games the virtue of eutrapelia, which we may call 'enjoyment.' "
-Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, II-II, 168, ii.

Shopping
Because a nominal stipend won't spend itself...
Winter Fun
Your first instinct might be to stay inside where it's warm, but then you'll miss out on all the fun to be had in the snow!
