Another January birthday boy here. Glad you had a good one Stephen. Here in So. Cal we are enjoying fairly mild weather. We got a little rain the last couple of days but for the most part it's been sunny and warm. In fact, about a week ago it got up to 85°. Sorry for rubbing it in. On a positive note, a lot of people DO like cold weather and snow in particular. Seems like you and your wife are two of them.

We have mountains near where I live that usually get snow during the Winter. I've been up to them many times over the years frolicking in the white stuff. Nice to visit, though I don't think I'd want to live in it for months at a time.

All the best,
Mike
