I tapped my foot so hard and fast I may have dislocated the right ankle. Oh well, it was worth it. We got a sprinkling of snow here in the South Sound this AM. Did you skip off your island last week before those 10 degree temps hit the mainland here in America? And there you are in some hotel or other, back in the Big Apple. Never thought about how big Manhattan actually is. Nice visual with comparing it to San Juan Island. Hopefully you have a very warm jacket with you and insulated trousers. NYC, Minneapolis, and Chicago, wow...you will be one cool chick when you finally return post holidays to the tranquility of your own home tucked in the forest, nestled warm a stone's throw from the Salish. It is comforting to know that you have left your heart on your island. We kelphistos will do our damndest to be caretakers of it for you.
