60 is my new 80

Growing up in Utah, I actually really enjoyed the 4 seasons, a range of temperatures, and even inclement weather.  All of that changed after spending a short time of my life in Southern California.   My new weather forecast consisted of sunny and in the 80's.  Ideal!!!  And completely realistic in Los Angeles.  I remember what a rude awakening I had upon my return to Utah.  Gray skies (thanks inversion), unbearably hot or cold temperatures, and rain/snow combo's...  UGGHHHH!!!!  I did not adjust well.

Fast forward 4 years...Boston weather.  I had no idea what "real" weather could be like.  The word Nor'Easter sends chills down my spine (unless accompanied by the words Church cancelled).  But as much as I did not adjust to Utah weather after Cali, I have finally learned to change my frame of reference here in Boston.

Hence 60 is my new 80.  I find I enjoy it just as much.
