March Is Back! Damn! ! !

MASTER'S PERSONAL LOG:

I am not a winter person, but if you have to have cold weather, let's have snow. Somehow, it seems appropriate and you can always curl up with a good book by the fire . . . . and you have to admit that a lot of times, snow storms are pretty to watch.

Early spring has no such redeeming quality . . . perhaps with the sole exception that eventually it gives way to actually "Spring" and then to Summer and then to sailing. Last week, when temperatures actually hit the 70's a couple of times and I could actually laze about on the patio and watch the clouds rolls by, has become a mere "cruel" dream. After two days of cold rain, i am beginning to wonder if it was all not just a illusion. I still need sunshine as my vitamin "D", or is it "A" supplies are low and I get mopey. Even with the Red Sox on TV, I can barely "survive."

Tomorrow the staples go away. Huzzah! For those of you who might have escaped "stapling" so far in your surgical history, you are out when they go in and very much with it when they get taken out. It is something akin to a "long root canal!" Perhaps there will be something to dull the pain?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

No new inquiries about ABISHAG, which is both good and bad. Good because I don't want to sell her and bad because, unless something changes, I have to sell. Things are not much better on the condo front. I just had a meeting with my realtor to sign a renewal contract. In the past , there have been 21,000 hits specific to my condo. Evidently, the hold up is that because of the market, you need 20% down for a variable and that is the sticking point. We talked about seeing if we can do a deal with HSBC the current mortgage holder(fixed) to see if we can work something out. Perhaps something may come of it. Then again, pigs may fly . . . but not anytime soon!
