Winter. My most hated time of year. Specifically, that long stretch of winter after the fun of the holidays is gone, until it's possible to comfortably wear short sleeves outside again...

It's kind of fun to dig back in my blog and see how things have changed over time. For example, this meme I did about five years ago, where one is supposed to go through the alphabet and see what comes up first in their web browser's auto complete list for each letter...

I was unusually loud and opinionated last week, so this week I'm going to try to keep it a bit lighter. I thought I would seek out some memes I've never participated in before...
