I have one word for you: 24 degrees Celsius. Ok, that's 3 words, or two words  and one number. My point is that is the temperature here in Texas. Feels  pretty good, coming from  minus 6.

Today was a long but rewarding day hashing through some planning issues with the organization  I mentioned  this morning. This I think, puts a pretty heavy demand on my brain  cells. Thinking takes energy for sure. And at the end of a day like this, I feel like my brain has had a work out. It's kind  of similar in a way to the feeling you get in your legs when you've gone for a run. Tired but good. Tired but more alive somehow.

Tomorrow, I'll try to get a picture of what 24 degrees looks like. For those of you who might have forgotten.
