The nice thing about it getting colder definitely isn't the time it takes to put on all the layers before leaving for work/home each day. I hate it more than the cold weather itself. The nice thing is that at this time of year I become more of a hero to my family for some reason. This past Friday night my wife and kids served me my dinner and then my wife encouraged me to go to bed early (7 PM -- three hours earlier than normal) while she put the kids to bed. Saturday she put the kids to bed while I watched the World Series and then brought popcorn/soda to me after she put them to bed.

The commutes have been nice but the tough thing is that it's been real easy to over dress.
