Clearly, I didn't take this one. One of our editors and associate producers Brittany did. Joe wanted a picture to remind us of the dead of winter, and how great it was to have a wonderful summer day.
It was taken Tuesday morning. I had just finished filling in for Tom Williams on Newswatch 16 This Morning. Joe wanted to be photographed in a winter coat, and He asked me to photo bomb. Upon further reflection, I think photo bombing is spontaneous, and not planned.
Anyway...
There are some things I miss about winter. The most important-- I sleep better. Regular readers know I work all night and sleep all day, and I keep that schedule even on my days off. I find it easier to sleep when it's dark and I'm under a heavy blanket layer. Dark curtains and a big air conditioner help, but it can't replace those cold nights and 4:30 PM sunsets.
Yes, I do like having four seasons, although spring and fall don't last long enough. Yes, it's nice walking out to the driveway and not scraping a windshield, not slipping and sliding to work.
Excuse me. It's time for a nap.
