The Hot Zone

A few years ago when Nate, Brett and I lived together in Provo, we were warm blooded enough that we just never turned on the heat as the temperatures cooled off in the fall. Eventually,l of course, it turned into some sort of macho contest with ourselves as we took pride in being "tough guys" or something of that sort. Shannon and Sabrina would come down to see us and would complain that they were freezing. They'd keep wearing their coats even inside our apartment. Eventually they forced us to turn on the heat somewhere in mid-November.

Fast forward to the present. A few weeks ago (late October) I merely mentioned to Shannon that we'd have to fire up the heat soon. The response? "Why would you want to do a terrible thing like that?"

We still haven't turned on the heat.

But having some tolerance for cold is good. When the temperature here in the windswept Midwest hits 50 degrees, as it did today, I'm busting out the short-sleeves.

My friends in L.A. think I'm nuts. Then again, it's 90 degrees there this week, so maybe I am for living here.

Hey, we're in Provo and we still haven't turned on the heat. Ok, so it was 70 yesterday, but it's currently 39.
