Wasn't that the bald guy starring in the King and I? [Could not resist!]
I too am trying [tho not succeeding] to go into a sort of 'hibernation mode' and counting the minutes untill the days actually GET LONGER! I want LIGHT!
My electric lap robe is working full time now, it seems. I cannot get and stay warm enuf long enuf to be truly comfy! Hibernation sounds more and more like a good option.
Cycleops? Old geezers we are not! If I judge right, we are about similar ages...but our 'conditions' do make us feel far far older than we are! Bummer! for Sure!!
May we all get some warm wet spells, the kind that do not cause flooding and may be get thru this winter in better shape than when we began!

Ho and HO! without one Hummm in there ! 's - j
