Yesterday, it was a perfect day and I was going to finally "undress" ABISHAG. The sun was out. It was warm. There was some wind, but not a lot. Noe of my teams were still alive in either of the NCAA Tourneys. But then, Jim Avery called. Jim Avery is 88 years old and these day looks it. Jim Avery needs help sailing his boat. Jim Avery has had his boat in the water since April 1st! Actually, that is not much of a surprise as every year Jim Avery has his boat launched on April 1st and I mean every year. And Jim Avery wanted to go for a sail. Who am I to deny my good friend such a request. SO rather than work on ABISHAG, I went sailing with the old man of the sea. We also took Mike Passero, mayor of New London and another member of TYC, who was introduced to sailing when he was 12 by Jim Avery, with us.
It was a short sail, a scant 2 hours but then as warm s it seemed ashore, out on the water the wind was rather chilly blowing as it was over the 45 +/- degree water. But it was wonderful. Spring is definitely here.
And yes, today I did unwrap ABISHAG and the work will soon begin in earnest.
