With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey", died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in.


And then the trouble started........

Oscar is apparently the first of the "regulars" here to succumb to the Winter Doldrums and <i>totally lose it.</i> No doubt others will follow...

It seems to be starting early this year!
Luckily I, like JB got to spend the weekend in shorts and no shirt having a kick-ass weekend sailing so at least there are a few of us who haven't gone off the deep end yet.
Maybe its the lack of wind in your face or sun... I dunno.
Its gonna be a long winter...

My pardons Oscar, seems maybe you're the sane one among us!
I would much rather be going on your trip than playing around on an inland lake for the weekend.
