Our building managers met us in the lobby this morning with fresh Krispy Kreme donuts. Not warm, but tasty all the same. I'll take what I can get. Yesterday, we had a fire in one elevator shaft and then someone got stuck in the other elevator. They were trying to win us back with sweet, fried dough. They won me.

Add to that the fact that we are now in our 21st consecutive rainfree day, and I'm downright gleeful. If family didn't tie you down back East, you'd be crazy not to move here, Ed. Constant sun; driving distance to Tahoe and more snow than you could ever get back home; minutes from the beach any day of the week...it's pretty darn nice.
