I think I've embraced the seasons over the years a bit too much. I skied way too much, my biggest season being over 140 days back in 1974, followed by over 100 days on the slops back in 1984. Many, many days in between and since. I used to embrace the cold weather, but that novelty's worn off. Now I seek being on the water and golf at least 7-8 months. This is my least favorite season, since it's colder, gets dark earlier, and I can do far less after work.
I've been freezing for 54 years now, time for a change
I sold my first New boat back in 1997. It was a great little boat, and have no idea where it ended up. Now I'm ready to look for another. The two best days of a boater's life are said to be the day you buy it, and the day you sell it. But the saddest days are being boatless altogether.
