Phoenix

I'm sitting in the Phoenix airport right now waiting to board a flight back to a winter world where shoveling awaits.  Dave is attending a conference and I came along to enjoy the weather.  We went on this fantastic hike in the mountains south of the city yesterday and had lunch at this amazing farm.  I kept reminding Dave of what a lovely, peaceful day we had in an attempt to lower his blood pressure during the Vikings game.  We weren't able to get a table in the hotel bar during half time, and that was for the best, because -- I won't lie -- things were thrown during the game.  We've both recovered now.  And I've decided to cheer for the Saints in the big game.  Dave, however, hasn't made that leap.
