2013 January, February

So 2013 is here, and we are already in the middle of February. Life has been quiet, We feel closer to our Constitution Marina friends than we have ever felt before, It almost feels like being away for 6 months and then coming back reinforces this camaraderie.
Paul and Elisabeth are next door this year, and have provided us with Cable TV.
Watching Television and movies seems to be a large part of our lives in the winter time. Likewise getting together with friends and enjoying the time together. There is not much else to do in the winter.
If one is motivated enough, some small maintenance jobs could be performed, but I just don't seem to get myself around to do it.
We have a strange schedule. Danielle works 3 to 9, I week, relatively flexible daytime hours, which becomes  10 to 7. So we eat Dinners at 10-11 pm, spend some time together.
Danielle is running around all day, whereas I am sitting on my desk all day.

Through this winter we went through Hurricane Sandy, where we all had to evacuate to the hotel next door, then through the Blizzard of 2013 (Nemo)  and various other storms before.
I have the whaler in the water, so we have used it to go places in Boston, of course not as much as I wanted to.
Right now we are in the midst of February, buried in the cold and the snow.

The Coocking Grills were all showed in, so Paul opened up one of the so we could grill

But the grilled swordfish is definitely worth it !

Walking he dogs at nights gives us all some exercide. Here are Danielle, Sailor and Sammy

The View from Constitution Marina into Boston is spectacular
