We are sick of WInter! Enough, already!
I know some of you from the true winter weather states are laughing at this.
Just remember, I am a Florida boy. Winter to me is 55 degrees with a cloud or two.
It was a cold, damp wet fall here in NC, and the month of December was pretty much lousy too.
No snow, just grey, damp cold days. Not dry pleasant cold, but bone chlling make you sick cold.
I am just now feeling back to normal, after getting sick the Saturday after Christmas.
So is the Queen, who came down with it the next week.
Today is typical, high in the thirties, overcast and damp.
At least we had our first real snow last week in several years, 7 inches here and no ice.
But I couldn't fully enjoy it for having to clear the driveway several times.
We do not handle that kind of weather well here in the south, it doesn't occur often enough to warrant the expensive removal equipment. We simply wait for it to thaw and melt away.
Queen Felicia took a lot of gorgeous pictures of our Winter Wonderland, I'll post them soon.
Come on Spring time, it's time to warm up and garden!

Booga, Booga!
And a Happy New Year to all!
How in the world can it be 2009?
Where did it come from, and what the heck happened to 1973?
That was the year my home town Dolphins won their first Super Bowl.
We all piled in my '68 Mustang convertible afterwards and drove all over Dade County celebrating.
With the top down, of course even though it was mid-January and the temps were in the thirties.
I'll never forget my best buddie Duane, all 6' 5" of him leaning over at a traffic light to "High Five" some fellow celebrants.
Forgetting that it was frigid. And that he was in a moving, albeit slowly car.
I still remember his scream, and the rest of us screaming wiht laughter and reminding him how brilliant he was.
He and his wife will celebrate their 34th anniversary in March.
Where oh where do the years go?
As the old saw goes, "If I'd known I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!"
Perhaps less tackle football without pads, more sleep, and less time wasted on TV and other worthless pursuits.
And I would most certainly have invested in MicroSoft in, say 1980 or so.
Hind sight is 20/20, even though my eyes no longer are.
If we are honest with ourselves, we probably would not have changed much.
We are who we are, and even the brightest among us are young and stupid once.
Hopefully when I grow up I'll be a genius.
