Starting to Get Cold...Texas-Style

So I went outside today and my first thought was...dang its cold. There was a slight breeze, and it was a little rainy, so I totally went in and got me a sweatshirt. The funny part is that it was 62° outside. I remember the days when I used to think that 62° was perfect weather to swim in...needless to say I don't think that any more.

In fact, I remember once, when living in New Hampshire, going outside in the sunshine and 10° temperatures and thinking: this is kinda nice (mind you, this was after a long period of -10° and even worse wind chill).

So in response to my new found revelation of wimpyness, I decided barbecue today because that will prove that I'm a man. Austin was there along with me. We were outside sweatshirts and flip-flops, and every time we opened the grill we used it like a campfire...in the 60° temperatures.

Don't know what I'll do if I ever live in a place with Winter again. Luckily for me, there's only one day in the next 10 day forecast where I'll feel a cold 68° temperature.

Sucks to be you?

I say next time you visit, you are in charge of BBQ. Mom's deck is covered if you bring thermals and socks you should be fine!
