I am sure so many of you are in the same boat as I am: waiting patiently for the end of one season and the beginning of another.  We're sitting idle in this liminal state, where the sun is shining but the wind is still biting.  

I'm trying to stay busy and focused but long for spring days and nights.  I try to get together with a friend to play backgammon as our schedules allow it.  The mornings when we can sit outside, by the river, with our coffee and play are what I'm dreaming of right now. :)
