Strolling in shorts and a t-shirt on a 70 DEGREE JANUARY DAY!!

Words can't express the joy I and so many others have experienced today in the NYC area. I'm dressed like it's mid July. It reached like 71 or 72 this afternoon. Overnight LOWS were only in the low 60s. Truly one of the warmest January days on RECORD in the area. Some perspective...the highest temperature ever recorded in January in Central Park is 72 back in 1950. So, seriously, today was like once-in-a-lifetime stuff...VERY exciting! You could see the joy etched on people's faces...everyone just THRILLED, giddy to be outside...jogging, walking, tossing a football, biking, playing soccer, simply laying in the grass. Some were shirtless. SHIRTLESS. In January!! I loved it. LOVED it!! I strolled along the waterfront, water bottle in hand, All-American Rejects on my headphones, clad in shorts and a short-sleeve shirt. Sat down for a bit, closed my eyes and rested my head against a lamppost, the balmy dead-of-winter sun warming my face. Earlier, I sat on the bench on my front porch, feet up on the railing. All the windows in the house are open. Oh, I fully relished this super-rarity of a day. Absolutely wonderful!
