It’s so cold, the Angels are freezing mid-flight and crashing to the ground. The recent return of winter is claiming a good share of victims. A week ago, many of my friends were depressed as was I — now we are down-right angry. I lost interest in this blog and my friend Paul up and quit until April first.

I’ve decided to stand my ground and get my act together; to raise my tiny fist in the air and challenge the forces of nature in bitter defiance! To take arms against this winter’s sea of troubles and by opposing — end them.

Not quite sure how I’m going to do that, but I’m setting my jib for warmth and by God, I’m going to succeed. I know how to start a thousand-mile journey and how to eat an elephant, so I’m going to start with this post and see where it gets me. Any suggestions or encouragement is greatly appreciated.
Who’s with me? Eh? They can take our spring and warmth away from us, but they can’t take our FREEDOM!
