It's cold and windy here as well.  Not exactly the kind of weather I'd hope
for on my annual month (or most of a month) off.  I'm busy enough during the
rest of the year that I don't use up much of my leave, sort of forcing me to
either take a lot of time in December or lose the time.  I've been carrying
the max leave over each year for as long as I can recall.

One of the most magnificent fish in the ocean.  I've seen exactly one while
I was in the water.  They darned sure don't look the same up close and
personal as they do from the surface or in pictures.  Knowing your habits,
you were set up for macro, so I presume we won't be seeing a photo.  That's
a shame.  When are you going to something more flexible, like housed
digital?
