The holidays are over and I missed the blizzards back east in New York. I won't be getting too much sympathy here in Southern California I get nostalgic for family. This is me and my Mom, Doris during a walk along the Sesquehana river near her home in Binghamton. I asked my mother the other day, "Mom, you've had some storms. It must be cold." She answered, "No, I'm from Maine, I love the cold weather."
