The View From Work

I took the above photograph from the top of the parking garage next door to the Bookstore where I work, looking west toward downtown Denver and the mountains.  A very pretty view, which almost makes you forget that with the wind chill it is about a billion degrees below zero outside these days.  Is it better to enjoy a mountain sunset view in the extreme cold, or to hunker down in a condo in Florida with a nice cold beer? The older I get, the more obvious - to me at least -  the answer becomes.  In point of fact, even Florida can get chilly this time of year.  I wonder how much longer it will be before we can once again take the ferry from Key West to Havana and be truly warm?
