Not too bad! No snow yet, so it has that going for it. Though it seems like everyone in NYC and Philly and NJ has taken the full week off and already arrived here, so traffic is horrible right now.

"…about the Mayflower: the story of the Pilgrims landing at Cape Cod, in part, because they were running out of beer."
If you ever get to Annapolis in the summer you'll know that the grand American tradition of Beer Sailing is alive and well.
