How to be miserable...

It is March 18th and it will be close to 90 degrees today.  All I can say is... "I will never be cold again" (cue Happy Dance music).

Yes, it is true that it will be hot and humid from May through September.  Okay, I am good with that.  I can tolerate heat much, much better than cold.  I am simply a cold wimp.  I accept that about myself.

What I do find funny is the lengths that people will go to describe how horrid it is to live in their city.  I am not just talking about Houston ("Oh, just wait till the summer.  You will be miserable"), I am talking about Chicago ("There is nothing colder than when the wind - which never stops -  blows off of the lake") or Kansas City ("It is over one hundred degrees in the summer and zero degrees in the winter") or anywhere else that I have lived.

We all have our trying times during the year.  I know myself and I know that I am just tickled pink to be here.  I will be hot this summer and I will sweat a lot.  But by the same token, I will be walking around in shorts in February when my brother (who lives in Ohio) will be bundled up and complaining about the 17 inches of snow and ice.

...yeah, I got it pretty good.
