Message: [QUOTE="Sifaka, post: 3376797, member: 8516"] Dear winlots, As a newcomer here—relatively—I was touched and gratified that you included me among the more venerable and wiser crew. Thank you. I've been fortunate. No major health issues other than my ongoing affection for etymology. ;) I can't believe that the naturally flagging stamina of a fellow in his eighth decade would be of much interest to the BY public, nor would my flower hybridizing in Maine's painfully short growing season, so I'll leave it at that. Yes, we have seasons here: Winter, followed by more Winter, then Mud, Blackflies, Tourists/Mosquitos, Greenheads, Autumn, and a return to Winter. Were it not for UConn WBB and the warm camaraderie of the Boneyard, Winter would be cold, stark, dark and cold. Luckily, good folks like you and the others who post here supplement the wood stove. Whatever you may celebrate, I wish you peace and happiness. Kind regards, Sifaka [/QUOTE]
