One thing of growing up out West in Phoenix and LA in particular, is a lack of true seasons, yes you get Summer all too easily, but the burst of Spring, the colors of Fall, and the nice cold bite of Winter are disappointing. In fact that is part of the reason I went to NAU. I got the best of the West with most of the seasons, Spring is still a bit lacking, but take what you can get. That is why I am so happy this morning SNOW has returned to Flag! My biggest single complaint about DC is not enough snow, well that and the humid summers (but we live in a swamp). As they always say up in Flag THINK SNOW, it is the source for tourism and a good economy in the winter :-) Lucky bastards.

Off to go to dance to the snow spirits, snow come visit me!

Shortly before starting up this blog, I joined a DC Social bloggers group. Interesting folks, who have a better handle on all this stuff than me so it's educational. They might even be reading, not sure I really need to look into refer logs for this thing.

Anyways...I get a kick out of reading them regularly to see how others are living in this city.

Jenn has a blog here, good writing so worth the look in. She has actually lived more places than this old bear, which is cool and rather rare. She today she posted a list of things she wants, I can really relate, many off my own list, so I am thinking, hmmm I should post things I want, feel free to join in and share on your blog if you got one....

Things I want...
I want to see my old dear friends more often, the miles are getting long and you are all so far away (AZ, WA, Europe, and Asia)

I want to be able to afford to eat out a bit more Sushi, Spaetzle, and Pigs in a Blankets (stuffed cabbage rolls of rice and beef)

I want DC to have more coffee shops like in Flag or French Street cafes, a wonderful place to sit, read, enjoy a coffee, and a warm day.

I want to go back to Germany to improve my German and learn Russian from the natives.

I want to write more (luckily this counts), but actually finish and publish a book.

I want to have a cabin in Flag

I want to find her. (who her, I'll let you know as soon as i know)

Not big wants I suppose, you'll get no arguement from me, but things I would like to see and am working to....goals a good thing.
