      I feel very fortunate to love all the seasons - each having it’s own gifts. That’s why I love NJ - change and variety. Being in SanDiego for 2 weeks almost made me insane - talk about Ground Hogs Day! And I once spent Christmas in Florida - never again!

      I remember as a kid, when adults talked about the weather, I thought it was so boring and mundane, but now I'm thirty and I probably have conversations about the weather on a daily basis. I'm from Los Angeles, where I grew up without heat or air conditioning because the temperature is always perfect. It's made living anywhere else a challenge.
