Top Ten reasons I like livin where ilive....

After seeing the pix of what that tornado did in Kansas, I again reminded myself of why I like where i live.

1) No Tornados (knock on wood)
2) No extreme cold temps..OK, well, maybe 2 or 3 days a year. I can deal with that and it gives me an excuse to justify the heavy coat in the closet
3) No extreme high temps.. OK, well maybe 3 or 4 days a year with temps at 100.
4) No floods. Ok, well it did flood here once, but that was a peculiar situation. I dont think it will happen again
5) No swarms of locusts, or rivers of blood.
6) No earthquakes
7) No hurricane Ted, Fred, Bill, Roger or Oswald to have to be watching the weather channel about worrying about my house being blown away
8) No swarms of snakes. well, the occasional snake down at the creek, but the dealmaker handles those...
9) No Blizzards. the occasional 1 inch of snow if good enough to shut down things for a day or 2
10) did I mention no tornados (knock on wood)

#6) Something I want to do.

New Year's Eve in Times Square

Ok, so i know my wife will be reluctant, and i do have my own reservations abt NYC, large crowds and dirty bombs. But I think you gotta do that...once. and with Kristen and Brown in the area, we have a convenient base to work from. This is something that I think might be a few years off, perhaps after the twins have left town...
