Being an ex-pat I sometimes wonder if I'll ever return to my mother country;
I just finished reading (and loving) The Three Junes with a central
character who is from the UK but is living in the US which brought this question
up again for me. This mid-March morning I jumped into my car with the top down,
cranked up The Darkness (I know Rock isn't cool but, then, neither am I so
it's a perfect fit) and thoroughly enjoyed my commute. My only concession to
winter is that I sometimes have to run in long sleeves but short sleeves have
been acceptable for weeks now. When I hear it has been a little above freezing
in the UK recently I can't imagine going back to winters with days of only
8 hours of daylight. I guess, then, I'm resigned to my fate; California has
made a wuss out of me.
