Happy Winter!

So I'm technically on Christmas holiday from work, no we don't call it that any more, I'm not technically retired until the first of the year.

But as I am footloose and fancy free, and have grandkids within a day's drive, we're off to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. Hopefully it won't be as frigid as in that lovely opening photo, hopefully it will be warmer than this ...

Yup, Friday's weather was a bit wintery. Started as rain, switched to a mix, eventually had a couple of inches of heavy wet snow. Roads stayed good, which was fortunate as we went out to dinner courtesy of good friends. (To celebrate my retirement, aber natürlich, very nice Portuguese restaurant.)

But Annapolis got mostly rain, so we've got that going for us.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some grandchildren I need to entertain.

I'll be back ...

Said in a completely, non-Austrian¹, friendly sort of way.

Be well.
