OK, I know I am a weather guy... But, I didn't know how much the sun would make such an impression on me. IT IS BEAUTIFUL HERE! I grew up in Portland, and worked in Seattle, Spokane and Cincinnati. If they planned a parade in December, no one would show up. In both Seattle and Portland they average about 40 to 50 inches of rain every year, grey and gloomy every other day. Last Saturday, I walked from my house to the Fiesta Bowl parade with my shorts and sunglasses and loved every minute of it. Now I know that rain is very important especially in such a dry area, but being able to count on good weather most of the time is very new to me.

Just this month, imagine all the things that we are able to do because this amazing climate! The Fiesta Bowl, Super bowl, a huge marathon, and FBR! Then in February the baseball teams start rolling into town! I LOVE IT! Well at least until June... How will I handle the extreme heat? That's new to me as well, stay tuned...
Happy new year everyone!
