Well it's my first blog and away I go. Guess I'm having my own personal pity party today because it's Christmas and it's 74 degrees. Having grown up surrounded by family and snow for the holidays it's really hard to adapt sometimes. Tried everything I could think of to get into the Christmas spirit but I struck out this season. Normally we trek to Utah for the holidays but this year Uncle Sam wasn't in a cooperative mood. So, as I spend only the second Christmas in my lifetime away from my family I thought...why not start a blog.
