Didn't want to 'hijack' another thread below where Ian and DonM started talking about the weather ... here in "frigid" New England we have been experiencing the mildest winter I can remember ... while we have had a couple of snow occurrences and some cold days. we have had a lot of days of mid 40's F and even some days in the 50's ... so much so that a number of golf courses have either re-opened or remained open through January and February ... not that I have benefited from that due to having had 'hammer toe' surgery last week frown ... I am basically out of action until mid March mad ... but all should be better after that ...
Of course I am sure it will be a while before we see temps in the 70's again ...

Yep...and it will help with global warming, they can lower their temperature dramatically just by switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius. wink

One of the warmest winters of my lifetime, for sure. And I think Europe has had it rough.

I hope you heal fast, Tony...it's good they were able to do corrective surgery.

Winter here is always at it's worst in the latter part of January and most of February. It was -33 C (-27 F) on Monday past...brutal!

If your not into winter sports, it means spending a lot of time indoors, but that has it's benefits, as you get lots of time to practice and work on styles and arrangements.

I guess that's also why there is a high percentage of musicians (a very high number are pros) here on the island.

It's also nice to have actual four distinct seasons...weather is never boring, and often a perfect conversation starter.

Good luck with your toe...and keep playing!

Ian

Ian ... thank you for the well wishes ...
While I LOVE the change of seasons, especially here in New England, I find that as I get older I have less and less need for snow - although I found out recently that my lingering morning allergy attacks are due to the fact that winter has been TOO mild and the fall allergens have not died off - ...
The first week after surgery was pretty much 'couch potato' week as I had to stay with the foot elevated to avoid swelling ... I am now in a 'walking boot' so I will be able to sit at the kb for at least a little while each day grin ... I knew since October that I was going to have the surgery at this time and how long it would keep me from getting around, so I did not take any gigs ...
thanks,

The older I get the colder I get. I can't wait till the end of March when I can put the finishing touches on the boat and in mid April it will be back in the water. The winter of 2012, if my health doesn't go to Hell in a hand-basket, will be spent someplace where the temperature and my age are equal. If it gets too cold in Marathon Key, Florida, I'll head for Key West. If it gets cold there, the next stop is the Dry Tortugas. In the unlikely event the Torgugas get cold, the Bahamas are just two days sailing time to the east. I can't afford to run a marine satellite internet connection, but most of the marinas have Wi-Fi so I'll be able to keep in touch.



Cheers,

Gary cool

Tony,

I agree, it's been a weird season, mild temperatures, no snow, and the Giants win. Just a freaky type winter for sure. smile

Hope you recover quickly
