Snowing and Blogging

When this winter started what seems like about 22 months ago I was still blogging. Since then the cold and snow has taken away my will. Other than a brief thaw in Savannah in February I've pretty much resorted to reverse hybernation. By reverse hybernation I mean that I'm actually storing up blubber for the warm summer months. They tell me there's light at the end of the tunnel but that's not entirely good news. The same guys who are measuring glacier melt in the polar ice caps for Al Gore came by this past week to measure the snow pack in my yard. The ice has receded by about 6 inches but this has caused massive flooding in the coastal areas around Lake Michigan. They want us force Maude to submit to emissions testing.

All of this to say, I think I'm ready to start blogging again. I'll know more after this blog. Thanks to everyone who has left an encouraging comment. In a lot of ways you made this post possible.
