Hello all!
How nice to welcome the shorter month of February and have a frosty January out of the way! Many of you are probably recovering from the cold, and my best guess is some are also recovering from the Doodlespiel held January 28-30, and Ski Spree held February 4-6! Once again, thanks to the organizers who do such a fantastic job of looking after all the details and planning such terrific events.
