Jim, thanks for posting that ---- a very enjoyable read. Glad to hear from the snow bound in NC. It does have a tranquil quality to it if you're ready for it and have nothing you've got to do.
I've always enjoyed a couple of good snow days. Everyone goes into a panic at the first flake around here, but I like a reasonable amount to break up the winter.
Count me in on the group that watches no tv. Cut mine off over 2 years ago. Haven't missed it. Have much more time to do things more fun.
