Hmm, time to start the prayers for circumstances to change for you. Will do! As I was explaining to some transplanted MidWesterners the other day, the one good thing about Massachusetts weather is that it changes often! We're in the midst of a heatwave, and he said "What happened? I thought I moved away from this weather!" When I explained it'd only last a few days, his wife said, "Oh, okay - we're used to it being like this a lot longer ..." "Yeah, four months straight ..." he said, and she corrected him "More like 5." He agreed.

"Don't worry," I said, "In a few days, it'll all be different again!"
