Well folks it's exactly 32F in Northern VA with light snow falling, 93% humidity and winds out of the north at 6 mph.

Ahh, I feel the embrace of my STJ family again. I feel the love! Jan & George, so glad to see you are both doing so well. We'd love to hook up with any and all in December. We're going solo this year sans family or friends and are open to dinners, drinks etc. From the lunar calendar it looks lik...

Greetings to all! It's been a while since I've posted but I see that the usual suspects are still around, which is fantastic!
