Tony, the first game was great, the second game, which I just gave up on, is an obvious blowout.

As for the mix killing me, that would be preferable to asbestosis, which seems to be advancing faster than I would like - at least I would go out with a buzz.

All the best old friend, and keep warm up there in the frozen north.

Gary, I'm sure you're aware of the dangers involved in overdoing the 'snow shoveling' thing. I'm just saying, know when to hold
'em and know when to fo.....hire somebody. In fact, why don't you just move out of that hell hole they call the 'northeast' and go down to where your heart is (take your keys down to the keys ). Although my son and his family are here, I'm seriously starting to think about moving back to Florida full time. Sun good, snow bad.

Chas, I would have been out of here 30 years ago, but my wife refuses to leave Maryland. And, having spent 15 years working in cardio-pulmonary medicine, I'm well aware what my limits are when it comes to exertion outdoors in cold weather. That said, I tend to push myself beyond normal limits at times, but during the past few days, I took lots of short breaks - I needed them.

If my health allows, I fully intend to sail south to the Keys next October, and, as usual, I suspect my wife will opt to remain here in Maryland. Hope to see you there.:)

Gary what about a 6 month MD/6 month FL compromise snowbird option..?

many people do that ...

Donny, I will be more than happy to snowbird to Florida as soon as I hit Lotto. The cost of maintaining two homes is twice the cost of maintaining one. My way of snowbirding is to take my floating home down to the keys and live aboard the boat. Far less expensive than living on land, has all the conveniences of home, but on a significantly smaller scale. As a lady friend of mine put it, living aboard a 33 foot boat is like living in a large ladies closet - about the same square footage. I can handle it just fine, but Carol, NAH! Anything beyond four or five days living aboard is more than Carol enjoys. Not sure exactly why, though. She spends most of her time in less space at home. Of course, I'm not all that bright, though.

All the best,

Gary

Ok so enjoy MD And enjoy life... Summer is coming closer day by day....

Days are getting longer. It is now still light when I go to work in the evening. A few days like today (60+ degrees) and the bass will be moving into shallow water with amorous thoughts in their little fishy brains! I got new carpet in my boat and now awaiting arrival of new seats!

Hey Gary I had the same briefcase as your snowman when I went to Teachers College 49 years ago. Thought it would fit the teacher image. Dumped it after the first year. Suits and ties and briefcases are not my style. Suits the snowman though.

God Bless,
Don

What snow?? We dodged a bullet in Buffalo. It's 40 and raining.

Last week we had a guy park near Lake Erie, while having a few at a bar. When he came out this was his car frozen in place. Lucky for him --- No DWI that night.
