Dear Northern Brethen

I am going to be leaving my employment in 3 years 28 days and moving for warmer climes. In the meantime, right now the boats are tucked in for the winter, its 36deg out with a wind chill of 20deg. It's snowing and blowing. It's nice to hear how nice it is in the south but as the general conditions deteriorate up here and every time I go outside I freeze my cobongas off I am forced to refer back to my previous post phlibbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!!

Save a spot for me!

Although last year the winter was so mild...we really didn't do any skiing here in Michigan until February.

They ski in Michigan? Seems to me that the hills are milder than the winters.

Skiing is okay and I like it... but it's not the same as sailing along on a beam reach in a 10 knot breeze, tiller in one hand, cell phone in the other, talking to client who pays by the hour (and hopefully doesn't read this board).
