Anyone Can Live in Arizona

The pleasure of waking up to a thin layer of ice in the kitchen sink.

The New York Times has a story about what real Americans do in the winter - we turn down the heat and enjoy the cold. We look for that inner excitement which comes from living ever so close to freezing.

Who'd want to live in a warm climate anyway?

Golfers? Too obsessive (chasing a white ball looking for the perfect hit).

Tennis players? Too narcissistic (looking for the perfect tan).

Give me the cold any day. And once we pick out the latest down-filled jacket, we can burn that LL Bean catalog for warmth. Ah the joys of winter.
