new year

It's a new year.... um ... ok. We're still getting used to being married and to all the other change that happened during the course of 2007. Getting accustomed to Knoxville is still very hard for both of us. I don't get to interact with anyone when I'm working from home. She doesn't like the people here.  On New Years Eve, we didn't make resolutions. We stated what we HOPE for the coming year: We hope to find a way to fit in up here in some kind of way.

It's been cold the past couple weeks but still no snow to speak of in town. I had to drive up to Johnson City, TN for work and I didn't see snow until I was well out of the Knoxville area. We watch the weather forecasts religiously in hopes of seeing some definite sign of snow coming our way. I used to think the weather forecasters in Florida were idiots... I am 100% convinced that they make it up as they go in Tennessee. They have predicted lots of snow every other day but not a single flake has been spotted. If you go to noaa.gov or intellicast.com or weather.com and just keep hitting reload every 15 minutes, the forecasts will change repeatedly. "it's going to only get up to 20° with lots of snow. [reload] It's going to be warm and sunny. [reload] Mild temperatures with lots of rain..." 

 I'm almost missing the predictability of hurricanes.
