Good to have you back, Remington, whether for a short or a long stay. There is no one quite like you here. And for that matter, the same is true about aleXander.
Congrats on the book, and for continuing to write wherever you are planted.
I don't envy your snow, but if you enjoy it, get out there, roll around, walk about, take lots of photos of that white stuff before it turns brown and disgusting!
