Why is that? Maybe it's usually not warm enough? Yesterday it was in the 60s, and I detected a sweet but elusive fragrance on the air. I walked over to the snowdrop patch, stooped down, and took a big whiff. Yes! That was the fragrance I had noticed. Mr. McGregor’s Daughter, I had never realized my snowdrops were fragrant before!

Having spent a bit of time in your company, I'm pretty sure it can't be traces of remaining sanity. You strike me as perfectly, delightfully crazy. Hmmmm, but lack of ambition? You? Are those really our only two choices? Stunning Work!
