Sheesh!!! Mark!! Have you been there so long that the cold finally got in between your ears and created permafrost in your brain???? Man, bust out of there!!!! Make that trip to Hawaii!!!! I used to always fly south out of Alaska at or after Christmas. Spent the month of January and first part of February Outside!! Or I might go in mid-January and stay until the endo of February. That always seemed to break the back of winter. When I got back it was just a short sprint to Spring. The longer days in March, though cold, became quite tolerable after that winter break. And April was nice, with the beginning arrival of the ducks, geese and Sandhill cranes. I especially liked spending some time out at Potters Marsh!! Go to Hawaii, man!!
