 In case you've not heard of a rather amazing Ski Jump Competition in Salisbury CT, let me mention it so you can see it live or online (try  SWSA and www.catv6.com) each February!

I'm looking forward to seeing the ice sculpting Sat morning and if it's not too cold, will take in the excitement of the jumps in the afternoon.

Our Christmas time in the NW Corner of CT is wrapping up here at 7:15 pm. A little girl (who came later in life to parents then needed some serious surgery but is thriving at a few years old ) hugged the teddy bear, and joyfully joined in photos with bear in arms..isn't that much better than bearing arms as is happening in Africa (Sudan) and Syria..and Iraq and too many other countries and cities, towns and Homes?
