But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

Anne! I missed you! I was wondering where you disappeared to. Great to reconnect. I do need to get off that cesspool X.

You know me. I love a real New England winter!

Thanks! It was balmy by the shore. Good idea to wait until it “warms” up. And listen to one of your favorite songs to get rid of that ear worm.
