I loved it. I'd get out of the tub and then sit by the stove and my hair would dry in MINUTES. <br /><br />It was great. <br /><br />I love Hedgie's snow fairy.

Then again, living in the North we miss out on a certain temperate-ness that is delightful...<br /><br /><b>MJ</b>: It is really super-fresh!<br /><br /><b>Martin</b>: it was very nice, I have no complaints. So different from Brooklyn, in a good way. <br /><br /><b>Brian</b>: being up here in the woods and clearing my head always gives me fresh perspective and makes me feel squeaky clean! By the way, you asked a couple of posts ago--my fast is working out brilliantly, with a short break for the holidays. It's made such a difference to me, both financially and emotionally.<br /><br /><b>Baino</b>: it's true, if a house isn't winterized, one can't heat centrally and run one's water through the pipes, or they'll freeze and burst. It's a whole fooferaw. And isn't the snowman funny?
