Not Christmas Shopping…

… or wrapping, or baking, or addressing cards, or anything even remotely holiday related. But I was sitting on metal bleachers in the shade on a low 40s kind of day for 7+ hours with Jim watching Peter play three baseball games in far East Sacramento.
Sufficiently warm, but just barely, wearing:
Thermal underwear, fleece pants, fleece turtleneck, down sweater, thick windbreaker jacket with fleece lining, high tech socks, thick neck scarf, furr-lined hat, fuzzy gloves, covered with two thick fleece blankets.
Here’s the view:
A fine way to spend the day, one week before Christmas.

Make that north Sacramento, near McClellan Field. Near enough to hear the roar of jets occasionally. And while the baseball was pretty good, the temperature was not. We were not amused.
As I’ve written elsewhere, baseball was not meant to be played in December.

Ok, that view cracks me up! Last year, Dianna and I joked we should bring our sleeping bags and just wrap up in those. The next day, she did! I was so jealous I didn’t follow through too!

LOL. Doesn’t hurt that you just returned from the cold weather of Nepal!

Absolutely. Ever since, I’ve dealt with cold completely differently. And certainly have the clothes now to manage just about anything Northern California dishes out.
