It is a well known fact to anyone who knows me at all well, that I hate winter with a fiery passion. That, in fact, I proclaimed in CCD (think Catholic Sunday School) loudly and frequently that hell was not hot, but cold. Naturally, the parents who'd volunteered to teach were scandalized but hardly knew what to do with a child who simply out-logic'd them about the issue. (Well, we say "left out in the cold" when someone leaves us ... or "turns a cold shoulder," right? And if hell is the absence of God ... then God has given those in hell the cold shoulder and therefore, OBVIOUSLY, hell is cold. These poor volunteer teachers just kind of blinked at me and ignored the issue all together.)

At any rate, I was tired of the cold theme here and decided to begin dreaming of warmer days. Sadly, to bring my new background picture in under 200kb (barely), it looks a little funny. And of course, to see it Cre8Buzz sized isn't to see much detail either ...

... but if you head over to my blog, I'll finish the story for you ... and show you some bigger images. :)
