*sigh*

Ya know...  I'm sitting here in Minnesota, it just
snowed another 9 inches, the temp is supposed to maybe
reach a high of zero degrees, and i've got the flu.
Finding fresh affordable seafood is damn near
impossible, and the only body surfing to be done would
be me laying down to slide across the ice in my parka
on one of the frozen lakes.

If I wasn't already pushed to the brink of Winter
Insanity, Phaedra's post is leaving me teetering on
the edge.  Possibly tomorrow I'll crack and run
screaming to the storage facility where my Westy has
been sitting.  I'll gun it out of the garage and hit
the road, bound for Mexico...  my only concern being
how to make it around the snow plows.  In three days
I'd be sipping a Modelo, chomping on shrimp and
wondering if I should go surfing again or maybe just
swimming this time...

Yep, it's sounding just a little too good right now.

(but how would I explain it to the boss?)
