Goes without saying, 

I'm super thankful for all the above as I

haven't even had a millisecond to think about my

usual Winter plot to vortex myself to BoraBora. 

So far so good here in the Windy City 

(but if you were at all curious,

 there are 40 days left until Spring -- 

not that I'm anxiously counting or anything ;)

~30 posts to follow to make up for 

the month I've neglected the Z-Do-Da...

sorry buddy :S

Stay tuned!
