Winter ain't so bad.

I’ve adjusted to Minnesota winter in positive ways. A prime example: Tomorrow’s high temperature is supposed to be 18 degrees. It’s gonna feel balmy.  Because we’ve spent much of the past two weeks below zero. Last night, it was 14 below. And that doesn’t count the wind chill. Therefore, 18 degrees (yes, above zero) will seem like a heat wave.  The next time we get above freezing, I’ll probably go outdoors. In shirtsleeves and shorts.  Anyway, next week I’m headed to Arizona. For a winter break. When I hear folks there complain of a ‘chilly’ 60 degrees, I’ll scoff. As I wipe the sweat from my brow. –Jim Broede
