I love North Carolina!

I keep watching the weather in Utah and Boston, and it hasn't been pretty. The snow, particularly in Utah, has been piling up, and it's really cold. So, I'm sorry to those of you who live in colder climates. I remember what it was like, I really do, and spring will eventually come. Eventually.

On to the gloating, though - it's 80 today in Jacksonville. Eighty degrees on February 6, and it's awesome. Nathan and I have been hanging out outside, crawling around the house, torturing poor lizards, saying hi to the dogs next door, and generally reveling in what is a normal high for Boston in July occurring in February here. This is one major reason why I was so excited to move back to North Carolina :)

Another major reason is college basketball. In Boston, professional sports were the big show, and colleges were just an afterthought. Here, though, college sports rule supreme, as they should, and nothing is bigger than a Duke-Carolina basketball game, like tonight's game. I love that they bumped last week's premiere of Lost to the next night at seven to show the Duke-NCState game, and they're bumping shows again so that we can watch Duke and Carolina go at it. I love North Carolina :)
