Howdy, TigerHawk!

Thanks for the well wishes. I so rarely get sick or have health issues of any sort (other than allergies), it’s very tough when something knocks me down. When it affects the enjoyment of being at the museum, that stinks, especially when the people I took through on tours were so much fun to be with and were so enthusiastic about what they saw. I did have fun with them but would have had more had I been up to snuff.

How hard has this latest cold front hit your area? Or has it reached you yet? It’s a real shock to us down here in the southlands, I’ll tell ya! I’m ready for Spring! LOL

Hey, radu,

The cold hasn’t actually hit us up here yet. Never used to bother me, extremes of hot and cold were just to be dealt with (I didn’t even b!tch about it, just dressed right, and drank a lot...altering between water and Jack Daniel’s), but the past 2-3 years the joints are acting up a bit...like A LOT! Last I counted I’ve racked up 14 broken bones since the age of 13, and recently I’ve started to remember every damned one of them. Cold doesn’t make me happy. Extreme HEAT and HUMIDITY is the worst! Makes ya wanna strip down to yer skin and want to take that off! Just HEAT is fine. Get in the shade and it’s MUCH cooler...except the snakes, and scorpions also know that.

As I’ve always said, “Life is a risk factor.”

I’m ALWAYS ready for Spring...I start pinning for it right after LABOR DAY (when the last sale is over)...and I want it to get here on NEW YEAR’S DAY...I like all the winter holidays, so I don’t want to miss them, but Jan., Feb., and March (except for St. Patty’s Day), can just take a hike! I probably wouldn’t feel that way if I spent that time on a Caribbean Island...just me, my wife, our hammocks, my shotgun, and our GET LOST!!! signs...4, one posted on each of the cardinal points of the compass around our hammocks. You and yer hubby are invited, but ya gotta bring her own hammocks, and shotgun...and Jack Daniel’s (I don’t trust the water down there). ;-)...and only 10 of yer cats!!!

KEEP THE FAITH.
