Re: Happy Holidays!

We got lots of rain recently but the weather is warm.  I'm beginning to see
some early blossoms that shouldn't be out until March.  I notice that our
weather is running about 10 degrees warmer than  the norm.  We are
definitely in a warm spell.    

Got back from a trip out to LA to visit with daughter and son-in-law.  Saw
the Getty Museum with its gardens and Pepperdine University...wonder how
anyone can study in that setting...looks like a small village on the Med.
