Call me crazy

But I am having a hard time pulling myself away from all this fun in the snow for a few days in Florida.

Seriously, it's still so clean and white, and the kids love it so. Fortunately for them, they get to stay up north in it for a few more days while I go to this conference. I'm very interested in hearing directly American perspectives on the global rare earth and rare earth magnet situation, so there's that. And a few of my old colleagues will be there, too, and it is always nice to have an opportunity to see old friends. But my heart will still be in this place.

no I get it - I've lived in the States now for over 15 years and never felt the urge to visit Florida (my M-I-L was a snow bird until her health declined, she's back with us in snowy PA now) - we got as far as Jeckyl Island, tho' and loved the mild climate off-season in the vast expanse of open beach, peaceful, still and quiet.
Do you guys have plans to celebrate Shrove Tuesday in any special way? The carnival atmosphere back in China for the Year of Snake seems to have gone off well for Celine Dion:

Enjoy!

We hadn't any plans short of a farewell to the comforts of our American life. Our travel has been thrown for a loop this weekend. My flights out of Orlando were moved to Sunday so the airline helped us by moving our China flight to Friday. So now I guess I need to plan a Fat Tuesday thing.
