The Coffee House

Tonight brings a frost warning for the DC area. We are expecting overnight temps in the thirties, locally. Am I nuts for wanting to keep the window open? MLW thinks so.

Oh man, this is something I do not miss about living on the East Coast.
 
I love it. MLW, though, calls me "a bear of little brain."
 
Back after having been gone awhile. Been busy with work, chores, errand, getting abducted by witches, and all the other little distractions life throws at you to get in the way of one enjoying life.

I definitely prefer warmer climates.
A few years ago I lived in NYC, and one winter we had so much snow it was crazy. I believe one night the city got covered in 3 feet overnight. It was beautiful at first, but then turned into one disgusting mess, and then every few days it would get covered again by another couple of feet. Ever since that winter I feel very grateful to live in a place that is lucky to get a foot of snow over the course of an entire season.
 
The ideal temperature for me is 69.9 degrees, for DW it is 89.9, so we have a running battle over comfort. She turns up the air until my clothes becomes sweat soaked and then I turn down the air until she turns blue. :biggrin-93:
 
At the end of yesterday’s NLCS game, Dodger Stadium played Randy Newman’s “I love LA”. This was, to quote Newman’s song, “... another perfect day, I love LA.” Warm and dry, nothin’ finer. In Gary’s youth, Gary didn’t care about weather ... it was what it was and deal with it. But as Gary get’s older, he appreciates ‘good’ weather ... he doesn’t mind cold ... doesn’t mind wet ... hates in between... but warm and dry is best.
 
65°, shorts and a t-shirt is perfect, the wife likes it just about 75°...unfortunatly we are still in the mid to upper 80's for the rest of the month.

It snowed in NH White Mtns last night. Just a dusting but hoping it didn’t kill off all the foliage before I get back up there.
 
My ideal weather is 65-75 and partly cloudy with a very slight breeze. I do not belong in New England.
 
This was a busy day, lots of paperwork then getting the backyard back in shape after being ripped up. After it all, a dip in the hot tub with a glass or two of vino. There is still a lot to do to recover the backyard back into its former glory ... but everyday Gary chips away at the chaos of the backyard. Mary Lou and Gary both agree that it is so nice to climb into the hot tub after a long day.
