   Hello, my darling hubbers.  Just a quick update to let you know why I've been MIA recently... I've been cruising the Caribbean!  As proof (or maybe just to make those of you experiencing below-freezing temperatures jealous), here is a shot of me on the beach in St. Maarten:
   
   
   (Sorry about the blinding white legs.  I'm a Viking/Celt mix.  I don't tan, I just freckle.)
   
   Big thanks to the rest of the team (and especially Paul Deeds) for picking up the slack while I was busy sunning myself.  I'm back in action, rarin' to go, and eager to hear what you've all been up to in my absense.  Update me below!

   That photo makes me long for the beach, while we have a foot of snow and ice here and the whole city was closed yesterday, except for groceries and coffee shops - but Hey, sometimes that's enough.  
   
   Welcome back!

   So....did you bring the laptop on and sneek a peek at hubpages every-so-often while on vacation?

      It's Hup's fault.  He couldn't find a bikini top big enough to fit his massive chest.

   Welcome back, Maddie!
   
   I'm guessing that Paul in his one-piece with skirt will be the October?

   Looks fun! Glad to hear you had a good time.
   
   As for white legs, check out my fair-skinned, anti-tanning hub (-:

   Go ahead Maddie rub it in... you live in sunny California and poor you, you just had to go somewhere where there is moooooore sun. Did you remember to ship a big crate full of sunshine to us left behind? No! I didn't think so, you were having such a good time that you forgot. Didn't you? I'm done ranting... so welcome back. Greetings from cold, cold snowy, windy and sleety, oh did I mention cold and snowy and windy  Canada
