I don’t remember when I first came to San Diego. It was for an O’Reilly conference. There were two of them here, but I don’t remember what the years were. But it’s always been Summer when I’ve been here. This is the fourth time that I’ve stayed at this hotel, and it’s just a little weird to see the Christmas stuff everywhere. And “Jingle Bell Rock” is playing on the sound system.

Half the people here are in shorts. Which brought about a strange train of thought. It seems that I’ve now been in the US for long enough that it seems normal for Christmas to be cold. I’ll have to do something about that. Perhaps spend Christmas somewhere with a sane climate next year? 🙂
