54 degrees and almost perfectly blue skies. I'm sitting at the patio table typing this while my kids pay on their playscape and in the sandbox in the back yard. This is about as close to perfect weather as I think one can get. It is just cool enough so there is a chill in the air and yet it no so cold that one has to bundle up. Jeans and a fleece or sweatshirt do the job just fine.
I love the cool air. It always smells better to me. For some reason cold air always seems more clean, more fresh and more invigorating than hot air to me. Our local public raido station does these local IDs where they have regular folks tell stories about life in Austin. They call them "Sonic IDs". They are really fun snippets of life in Austin. More than one Sonic ID has dealt with the Texas heat. I've got a slightly different take. I am a cold weather guy.
Monday is MLK day. I was explaining to my three year old son that Monday is a holiday so he doesn't have to go to day care. He asked what kind of a holiday it is so I told him it was a day to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., a preacher who lived in Georgia. My son asked if MLK was a Georgia Bulldog fan. I have no idea. I wonder when the Georgia football team was integrated?
