We're not hot any more. I woke up to 0.0 F.

I just can't get over the weather this year. We had 79 F in Colorado Monday and it rained last night in Wyoming on the day after Christmas. This is unheard of. I know other areas are getting much colder or much snowier than usual. Is this a fluke year or the sign of something worse? I'm not sure.

She was doing very well until her last year or two and was doing reasonably well until her last week.

I love dark chocolate. My current favorite is Equal Exchange 92% dark chocolate. I recently bought some dates and dipped them in this super dark chocolate. Yum! I'll be doing that again.

My husband's grandma renewed her driver's license at 102 and would drive the old ladies to church. She lived on the old homestead in Eastern Colorado until a week before passing at 105.

Send the snow our way. We are having a heat wave with high winds.

The informed know enough to know they don't know everything. The uninformed don't know enough to know what they don't know. There has actually been a study on the subject. Those who know least generally rate themselves as knowing the most and those that know the most generally rate themselves as not knowing the subject well. This is true until you get to the true subject matter experts, who start rating themselves higher.

Lucky you. We're wearing shorts in Colorado. It made it up to 79 F yesterday. We won't be having a white Christmas this year.

1 is fun. I don't know why, but I love when someone asks the temperature and I can answer 1 F. I don't know that it is my favorite temperature to actually hang out in, but I find incomprehensible joy out of reporting the temperature of 1 F.

It is amazing how "old" keeps getting older every decade. Based on two relatives, once you hit 100, you embrace old because you are still here.
