I'm trying to study for the sun, from both last fall and this upcoming January.
To all the rest...seems in winter of 2014/spring of 2015 I had a medical
problem that put me on a veritable cocktail of antibiotics.  Some of which made
me photo sensitive, meaning by the end of the Phoenix trip I would have shamed
a cooked lobster.

Yeah, but there are downsides.  Now I seem to get chilled easier and it's
harder to walk around in a T-shirt and shorts when the temperature drops into
the 40's.

Don't need my permission :-)  I just got wrapped up in this other venture, I'll
have all of it finalized by the end of the day, and lost track of what time of
the year it is.  Kind of like when someone asked me how old I was and I asked
them what year it was so I could calculate it.

As to the locations, well it's always just a short, 30-40 mile, jaunt across
town at 5pm after the game.  Besides, last year I was scheduling games which
corresponded to your bookings, and on the last day relation to the airport.

I'll see your Tempe Diablo, and raise you the worst of the lot...Scottsdale.
