It's been a fun weekend in the great state of Oklahoma however I now feel that I can't complain (as much) about the hot weather in Chicago.
The conference I'm attending this weekend did an optional two mile walk as a part of our programming at 6:45 am this morning. Since I knew I'd be sitting a better part of the rest of the day I opted to participate as it also gave me a chance to see a bit more of the University of Oklahoma where the conference is at. Initially I thought that stepping off at such an early start time was crazy. That mindset changed quickly though as the day went on and made my very appreciative of those Oklahoma winds that came sweepin' down the plains towards the end of our walk!
By mid-day it was well over 100 degrees here with a heat index of around 113 degrees and I had to chuckle at the voicemail message from a friend at home wanting to know if I wanted to hit the pool with her since it was approaching 90 degrees at home. In my voicemail message back to her, after regretfully declining her invitation, I had to mention that I wish it was "only" 90 degrees here! Grant it, it's a bit of a dryer heat here but 100+ degrees is still hot no matter how much less humidity you have here!
