Almost anywhere but Idaho

Sometimes those of us that have lived in Idaho a long time have figured out that the best way to combat the Idaho Spring Blues is to get the hell out of town. I am right now sitting in a sunny spot in Sacramento, California where warmth is almost guaranteed at this time of year. My husband and I are waiting to meet friends and do a little wine tasting in the Napa Valley. What a great diversion that will be from the weather up north that can't make up its mind whether it is snowing, sunny, raining, or just plain gray. 

There is the saying, "if you can't beat it, join it." Well today, my saying is, "if you can't beat it, dump it and move on."

Meanwhile, a message to the weather gods: we get home Monday night. Please deliver spring to Idaho while we are gone.
