Why do I live in Minnesota?
Days like these make me ask that of myself more and more often. It's been cold, bitterly cold for days now. On top of the cold, the wind is blowing making it feel even colder than it really is. The wind also makes the windows sing and trees sign in that mournful way. It's days like these that allow me to understand some of the Norse ledgends.
So it's cold, and I'm here wondering why I'm not living in Arizona, or New Mexico or someplace warm like that. There are, of course, the obvious answers: this is where my family lives, this is where my job is, this is where my school is. Somehow these answers don't seem like enough when I'm shivering in my heavy winter coat. And yet I still live here.

No long nights hanging out with friends or making chain mail becuase if you went outside you would frezze to death in minuets. Sure you would have gotten more games of tag and midnight skinny dipping in but you wouldn't be the same you.
