Keys Christmas '07

At left, our new "pet". He moved into a nearby bush and is a frequent visitor. We named him "Iggy". Comes and goes -- pretty independent lizard.

We're still down in Florida. While the northeast (of the US -- where our primary residence is at the moment) is getting pummeled with snow, we've been having sunny but plenty-hot & humid days, punctuated with some impressive rainstorms. Impressive because they come up suddenly, it rains torrents, and generally they're gone as quickly as they came. Unfortunately, afterward the humidity goes from unpleasant to almost unbearable. It'd be tough for me (Scott) to live in this climate on a permanent basis. Either that or I'd need to win the lottery to pay the aircon bill.

Our lives here aren't much different than any other place we call "home". We get up, have our coffee (Kathy gets hers delivered in bed), breakfast. Spend too much time with the computers (laptops, which occupy a not-insubstantial portion of the dining room table; fortunately with just me, Kathy and her Dad, we don't need the space). I prepare most of the meals for us which is both fun (generally) and of course I pretty much get to pick what we get to eat. Kathy and Jack (her Dad) go fishing on his boat, and generally "bring home the bacon". Oh, Kathy also monitors the canal off the back of the boat, sometimes she brings lobsters back. Try that in New Hampshire in December.



We'll stay here in Florida into the first week of January, take a brief cruise (that's another story) then head off to Arizona for the winter.
