You should be happy. Some rain coming = some much needed melt. The days are getting longer. The beer is still cold . . . and WE ALL CHOOSE TO LIVE HERE. The mid - west has it far worse then we do and they don't have anything to look forward to because they live in the mid - west - :D [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

Have you all seen what's happening in Chicago? Us Bean Town faithfull need to clam up.

I have lived in Key West. The Bahamas. Just got back from Abaco. Spent over a month once in St. Barths. Two years in Ireland where it don't snow - atleast where I was. I choose to live in New England. I lived and worked on Nantucket for over 3 years and wouldn't trade that for any of the aforementioned latitudes. New England is the best place in the world to live. Now go get drunk or move some place warmer. Or both. :pirate:
Well, if we didn't talk & b**** about the weather, what would we talk about?

Concert dates?? Seriously it does get a tad boring in winter here in the NE

Are you kidding? There are tons of things to do. Tons. Tell me . . . this past storm dumped a foot of snow over a 2,100 mile track . . . what do all other 100,000,000 non New Englanders who got hit with snow do that makes the entire area of New England a "tad boring" in comparison?

I am meeting friends to hike the Minute Man National Park in Concord, MA is about 2 hours. The sun is out. I just walked my dog. It is gorgeous outside. After our hike we are going to the Walden Grille for burgers and shots. After that I am going to see an early release of Sanctum tonight in 3D. 3 F'N D!

Life is what you make of it. You don't need Jimmy Buffett concert dates to live it.
Sure, it's beautiful out today - but I have this JOB thing that requires my presence during the week. I love skiing but it's $85 before you even put one foot on the slopes. I guess I need to find a new group of friends because I don't know anyone who would go on a hike today - though my co-workers and I DID go snowshoeing last week in NH, but they all live hours away so I don't do a lot of that either.
I didn't say JB's concerts are the only thing we have but it sure livens up winter around here.

For a concert that is roughly a half a year away that is a ton of boredom. And we all have jobs - atleast those who are lucky enough do. If I were you I would go ice skate that big lake you got up there and then find some live music and rock your bad as$ out. Buffett isn't even on my radar yet . . . other then the fact that I am on a Buffett website but I digress. Off to hike. Sun is pouding out there. Need me some vitamin D.

Jon, you nailed it right on the head. I think some of us get cranky when we don't get enough Vit. D!!

If I'm at home and it's sunny. I'll sit facing the sun that's shining through the window,and just pretend I'm on Nauset beach or someplace warm. On dr's advise, we started taking Vit. D. She said pretty much everyone in N.E. doesn't get enough with the winters being so long and all.
Years back when I was seeing a specialist at N. E. Medical Ctr. I saw pics of when the Floating Hospital literally was on a ship. The patients would be put on deck in steamer chairs and wool blankets to get some Vit. D.

That's why I go to the beach in the winter to walk on the boardwalk. I don't care if it's under 20 degrees if the sun's out.

I love the snow. I ski, so the more snow the better, plus I work at a college and the more snow means more snows days out of work. The college closed Tuesday and Wednesday and today the boss told us to work from home.

But it would be nice to get some Great Woods dates confirmed. I am heading to Lake Placid for a week of skiing on the 13th so I am hoping the on-sale isn't in that time frame.

I actually like the snow to drive around in since I have a Jeep, but I really can't afford to have any more snow days from work. My anniversary isn't until the 23rd so no more vacation days left after I take the week off before the anniversary.

I am thinking he is going to release dates on the 14th :D

Nothing new to report...sorry
Does appear that we are scheduled for the 2 shows as usual though...
Apparently the GW dates were supposed to be announced the week he fell... :(
I guess that has delayed things for some reason..no worries though.. they will be coming soon..

Plus I've read that tanning beds break down the collagen in your skin - not good for you in any way, shape or form.
