A "Staycation"
"Beware the Ides of March"....Hello Everyone! Sorry I haven't written in so long. I had a busy fall/winter and I can't believe we find ourselves at the threshold of spring. With snow still on the ground in so many places, and cool temperatures, I must admit that even though I'm a mannequin head, I suffer from what they call the "winter doldrums", or more officially "SAD". Yes, I get sad, brought on by the season. When will the sun come out again?
Over time, I've developed a few techniques to help me battle this affliction. My favorite solution is to get under a sun lamp, get a huge box of cheap white wine, glam myself up with a scarf and smart pair of sunglasses, and just relax. I usually put on reggae music, or upbeat 80's dance tunes. Then I just bask in the fake sunlight and feel that Franzia buzz. Until next time, friends, remember:"March comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb".

Mitzi! It's been such a good long while, Love, and I was delighted to find you back on the Board again after what I took to be a very long -- well, exceedingly long -- self-imposed hiatus. Drinking again, I hear? Well...good girl! Wine in a box is always just what the Franciscan monks order to facilitate the correction of the affliction you term "mannequin head." The songs of the 1880s, you say? Ah, yes. They take me back to when Scott Joplin first cruised along to St. Louis to launch the early days of ragtime. Well, best to you, my dear, dear friend and companion, and may you continue only to have high times but never as high as the times you experience when we're not so woefully kept apart. I remain yours with fond affection...Mortimer Winkleton.
