Everything you said is absolutely true about a well-sourced, nicely-written profile. I also love the hunt of researching each profile, and by the way, you are my mentor. I live in Sarasota, Florida where today was in the '80s and sunny, but I grew up in northern Michigan, so I know what cold weather and snow are all about. I could be at the beach, but I am a ginger, and after ten minutes I turn bright red.
I swear that I get a sunburn just by turning a light bulb on.
