The weather is perfect, highs of 68F, lows of 50F and nothing but sun. I walk around in shorts. Everyone else, including Amy, is freezing. I’m planning a year in shorts.

Lunch today was accompanied by the Love Boat’s Captain Stubbing tap dancing in the background as we dug into some goldband snapper, prawns, roasted red peppers, sweet corn, home fries and accessories.

Everything was cooked on the grill but I overdid the prawns. However, the snapper was a thermometer verified 125F when I pulled it off, rising after that, and topped with Tahitian-lime-mint-garlic butter. And this is winter.
