Mike -- it is enviable. I was pretty pleased when the Navy agreed to give me a couple of years in the northwest. Your brother lives in Pt. Hadlock, you say? I was just up in Pt. Ludlow -- I live in Silverdale, just the other side of the Hood Canal Bridge! I'll be sure to post more pics of "blooms and rhubard" (and my Porsche, of course) as they become available so that poor blokes like you still living in the cold can vicariously enjoy some spring weather.
Hey Ronin -- are you about done with those prints yet? :>
