I felt the cold of the 18 degree December this morning as soon as I stepped out the door at 6:50 am. I questioned why I would leave my warm condo into this frigid temperature and walk to the bus stop, hoping the bus would be on time. Was I insane? No is my answer, because I knew that in a short while I would be walking into a favorite coffee shop and be greeted with a warm and inviting smile from one of the baristas. I knew I would be told “Good morning Monte. Do you want your usual?” Once I ordered and paid, I would then find a comfy place to journal, read or both and enjoy a warm mocha latte. However, on this particular morning, and because of the cold, I decided I wanted one these chocolate eclairs to go along with my mocha. No, I’m really not insane but living a simple life with things I enjoy. Yes, life is good. Stay warm wherever you are!

No, insane might be sitting down with a dozen of those eclairs. Otherwise, seems the experience was well worth bearing a little cold.
Got pretty cold here overnight also, about the same temps.

So, is it insane if I “thought” about eating a dozen eclairs but didn’t? Yes, I noticed you guys have been cold also.

From a southern boy – Yes! Quite insane! You need help! 😀
That said, I’ll bundle up and go for a walk when it’s 18, or so, as long as there is not the slightest bit of wind, breeze, light breeze, anything having to do with air movement!

There’s no insanity on your part. I think it was both this past weekend we had two consecutive days of temperatures never getting above 35 degrees and the humidity was over 85%. That will make the wind just that much colder.

A good eclair is definitely worth a little sacrifice! No insanity there, just a good sense of priorities!

Great minds think alike.
