I had a better idea. I abandoned the Beltway and became a southerner.
No snow here I am still in shorts and boat shoes ;-)

I wish I could get my wife to abandon the area. North Carolina's not
much further south, but it'd beat this.

Even northern Florida is too cold for me in the winter, and right

an outdoor dock party last night and I ended up going home to put a
sweater on.
