Thanks for the encouraging words, Eric. I too am trying really hard to see positive signs! I did hear sparrows chirping on the roof of a store (does that count?). But yes, I hear March isn't starting out too good. (I remember in years gone by, sunbathing on the patio for March break! Ok, that was maybe 35 years ago, I know better than to sunbathe now
)
