A text message from home

"... Weather here is frigid. Yesterday -25 and felt colder because of wind. Today -15 so getting better. All the way up to zero at this hour. You probably miss the cold huh? ... We love you!! Dad and C..."

I love you too!

19 years old. I walked less than 7 blocks to my nanny job. I worked for a flight attendant. Her little boy was the coolest kid. Smart. Talented piano player. It was just after Christmas/New Years. I lost my hat earlier that day and was not coming from home. And in those 7 blocks I got 3rd degree frostbite on the top/back of my right ear. I'll spare you the gross details of what happens when you get 3rd degree frostbite. In the end I lost a small part of my ear. The top of my right ear curls down, permanent damage from the frostbite. And that was the last January I spent in Minnesota. 

Love you guys too but if you want to see me January - March you guys are coming here!  

CNN has been playing the documentary March of the Penguins otherwise known as my childhood! Moving away from home is probably why I'll never find a mate but I'm perfectly fine with not freezing off any more body parts!   

Take care of yourselves and each other Midwest and east coast! 


8:32am

Looks like it's going to warm up to -7 in MN today. I think it was anything below zero we weren't allowed to go outside and play. 



9:29am

I just opened my windows here in Los Angeles to air out the place and I'm already looking for a warmer sweater. Such a wimp.
