There is something about an icy cold day in the middle of spring to bring people together.  We were planning to go to the beach, planning a different day.  The weather had other plans.  It snowed.  Not just snow, but hard icy snow that hurt your face when it hit you and the wind made sure it hit you in the face.  It was a nasty day to be out.

But there we were, the beach club, the old members we've not seen in a while, the regular members and a brand new member.  There is something about sledding down the hill to the beach in the cold, 4 days after the official 'first day of spring' the brings a group of people together.

To all of you - cheers!
