About Me:

I'm a computer geek, I have an aging miniature poodle, I like windsurfing as well as sailing, although I'm pretty much a newbie at both. My boat is a Columbia 33, which is presently on the hard getting engine and glass work.

As for me, I'm pondering what I might say to a doctor to get an Rx to move to USVI 'for my health'. I have another cold, there's crusty snow everywhere, and we're getting another eight inches of snow this weekend. Sigh.
