I always like it when the year turns—I like looking forward better than looking back So, full steam ahead to daffodils and tulips, rhubarb and lilacs, seed starting and.........sailboats?

Actually, I'm looking forward to some excellent iceboating well before all that—once we get through the current thermographic brutality. Possibly a week from now. Hang in there Pax, we will be walking again soon.
