Climate Change

There was a stretch of time where all I could think about was moving to Los Angeles to try to make it in the movie business. I abandoned that dream for more realistic goals - like holding elected office (note: to be read with a bit of sarcasm...). 

I had resigned myself to staying in Ohio forever. Perhaps "resignation" isn't the proper word to use here, but that's kind of what I did. I see too much opportunity here in my home state. I know a lot about it. I'm getting the connections and everything you need to get a solid career started. 

But I hate the winter. 

In Cleveland there's a ton of awful, stupid snow to deal with. All the time. In Columbus, it snows a half an inch and people drive like they have bumper cars on the roads and there is not one single snow plow ANYWHERE to be found. 

It's a day like today that could get me to move. I've got this ridiculous allergy thing going on (so bad it has caused me to go alcoholic-beverage-less for the entire weekend...I took a chai tea latte to a party last night to soothe my throat. Insert lack of masculinity joke here: ______). 

It is approaching 80 degrees and will only get hotter. I'm sweating out of allergy-related fatigue in addition to the heat, and I couldn't be happier. 

I think better in the heat. When it's cold out I can't even yearn for warmth because I'm so fixated on how crappy the weather is. 

Perhaps a climate change is in my future. 

Scott.
