So sorry to hear about your colleague Dragon. When people unexpectedly pass, it's always a shock. Especially when they are our age. It's a reminder that life is finite, and we never know when the parade will end. Helps us to appreciate each and every 24 hours even more, I think.
Glad you are able to get out Imvalentine. Cabin fever this early in the season must be stressful. I agree that I have no Christmas fervor yet, and it's just around the corner. I think that happens when US Thanksgiving is so late in the month.
Storm moved fifty miles east of us yesterday, so nothing but flurries. No disappointed, as winter hasn't even started yet.
Have a good day all!
