Pat, I think you are lucky to have Dave to chase. Another degree, a new profession, and staying active in the winter all sound like good ways for Dave to stay busy when he isn't chasing you (sometimes men need a little help with their priorities.)

I found a great card that I am using for my Valentine that says, "Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worth taking."

Roland, thanks for the helpful hints about the Atlanta area. I am sure we will be okay. We seem to find something to like about each of the places we have lived. Richard, hope you have a good time on your ski trip, no broken bones. Nothing new here. I have been painting to get ready to market the house. The realtor is coming next Tu. Have a good weekend everyone. Later .........

Hi, It's snowing here. Maybe we will get 14". Its the first really good snow that we have gotten in a while. Tomorrow will be warm, that's a change as well! Anybody seen any good movies??

Getting waited on, hand and foot! Fabulous concept! Now I need to figure out how to make that my lifestyle. Right now I am waiting on everyone else. Going for a walk is living large for me.

The unexpected result of my morning walk today was seeing two pairs of piliated woodpeckers. They're pretty incredible. When I got home, my son told me that their tongues retract up behind their brains. That's just strange, but I know that they also have an extra bone in their head and that sounds useful. I think I need a little more bone in my head to be able to keep hitting mine against the wall. Sensing a little frustration? Yeah, maybe a little. Right now I am just counting the days until I go snowboading in Utah, "22, 21, 20, . . . "
