Elle,
Are you havin' a sh!*ty day, too? Your constant references seem to infer
such. I know, I can't wait to go sailing, either. We are talking about a
short sail on Sunday, weather permitting. The afternoon highs are predicted
to reach the low 60s!! Now if the sun would just show up! Tomorrow is
supposed to be beautiful - maybe I'll need to call in sick ...
