That's funny! I've never heard it called Syberia-cuse. My wife hates the cold...I can't get enough of it! I'm normally outside in a sweatshirt and a t-shirt underneath. My wives leaves the apartment and she looks like the Michelin man because of all the layers. She constantly reminds me of how good the weather was in the south. I grew up in California which is dry heat. When the Navy moved me to VA, the humidity was a slap in the face that I never was able to get used to. What good is a summer if you feel like you need to hide indoors because of the heat. I have a nagging feeling that as soon as I graduate from college we will be moving south to MD, or possibly northern VA.
Thank you for your prior service and the contribution that your son is making as well! I feel that because of the people like you that served before me, I was given the opportunity to serve this country.
