A Whole New World

T: After several months of 90-plus degree weather, I am pleased to report that the temperatures in the greater Tampa-Saint Petersburg metro market PLUNGED into the 60's over the weekend. Corrine and I were ecstatic to engage in certain of the following crazy activities: i) open our windows and let actual fresh air into the house, ii) wear shirts with sleeves on them, iii) fire up the crock pot to make an enormous batch of pulled pork. I know it sounds crazy, but we went for it. We even acted in reckless fashion by throwing an extra blanket on the bed the last two nights. It was a good time. It was a simpler time....

But like all good things, this recent 'cold snap' must come to an end. Temperatures are back in the 70's today, and will revert to the mid-80's for the remainder of the week. It was great to have a sneak peak at this "winter's" coming attractions...and I also want to reassure all the Minnesota resident who might read this post that we should have a healthy dollop of warm sunny weather when you are in town next month for Thanksgiving....
