bring on the sun

I think today marks the third warm day in Utah this year...warm by my standards anyway. We're stuck in a perpetual winter, and I wonder how much more of this weather my sanity can handle. Up until I was 23 or so, I think it's safe to say that at least 50% of my time, I was strutting around in shorts, sandals, a t-shirt, and, of course, a ball cap (excluding Peru). Lately, I've been trying on the old uniform, but inevitably, I freeze my buttocks off. Texas is calling my name in more ways than one, but sometimes you're dealt a different hand than anticipated. What an analogy: play with the hand your dealt. I like to think that we can stack the deck a little and deal our own cards, and you can always win big with nothing in your hand, but not knowing a good strategy to do so when looking at your cards for months can be a little frustrating. You following? Being married to Caren is awesome; being married to a house or a business...not so much. = ) Life is good and all, but wanting to do some things while tied down to other things can get really confusing when the ropes are too strong and the knots too tight. I could always be like Alexander and the Gordion knot, but his ambition didn't exactly lead to the greatest outcome. Long story short - there are things I really want to do here; there are things I really want to do over there; I'm not certain which will be best for us; I am certain I can only do things here until my house sells; and alas, the more things I begin here, the more complicated the knot becomes. Not complaining...just verbalizing the situation. I think I just need some more sunshine, a better way to catch fish out of Utah lake, and maybe a four-wheeler for the mountain in my backyard.
