I'm a grad student who longs for mountains and crisp morning air in damp and flat Miami. I love adventure--which to me means accepting discomfort with grace. You gotta love it. "...just fades like a radio station when you drive out of range"

When Hell Freezes Over...
It's 45 degrees in my office. It's about 50 outside, which isn't that bad except that we don't have heat. Burrrrr. I think they may have finally turned the AC off (You know...when Hell Freezes Over).
In more encouraging news:
It's the annual lizard harvest. They're falling out of trees and ripe for the pickin'. We have a 6 inch gecko inside a cardboard box on the kitchen table. He was frozen solid yesterday morning, so Laura brought him in to warm up. I taped the top up pretty well and I can hear him shuffling around inside. I'll let him out when it warms up again...

HAHA. i love this as your first post of 2010
You shouldn't complain, we haven't had a day above freezing in 2010 yet...the average is about -10 (Celsius of course), and after the wind chill gets added on it feels more like -15. Maybe next year I'll have to send you a hat for Christmas to keep you warm :)
Yes, outside it's not that cold...but we don't have heat...
thanks for the penguin. Scott wanted to eat it SOOOOOO bad but I wouldn't let him.
