How's the Weather?

Do other people talk about the weather as much as we do in Texas? In the summer, we complain about how incredibly hot it gets. In the winter, we complain when a cold front plunges the temperature to the freezing point. You see, 32 degrees is quite unusual here along the Gulf Coast. I've found that living in Houston narrows the range of temperatures that a person can consider comfortable. 90? Way too hot. 30? Far too cold. My comfort zone has shrunk to somewhere between 65 and 75 degrees. For running, I have the same comfort zone range, the only difference being that it drops 20 degrees to the 45-55 range. Yes, Houston has made me intolerant to large changes in temperature. It's also given me minor seasonal allergies. Hmm. Maybe I need to rethink that resolution to potentially buy a house...

I have been exposed to a bunch of sick people over the holidays, and I thought I had escaped it -- but as the day has worn on, my nose has begun to run and I'm feeling fairly achy. Not good.
