Winter has finally arrived out here in the Bay Area. Since this is only my first year out here, I can only go on the account of others, but from what I’m told, this is a late start to winter, as well as a dry winter. By now it should be raining frequently and there should be snow up in the Sierras.

I, without thinking, did not even ponder the idea of winter in California that I did not pack a winter coat. I mean, for East coasters, who thought it got cold in California except for inland, like Tahoe, Yosemite, and other mountainous areas.

I hate shopping. I never seem to like anything and have the hardest time choosing something. It takes me at least 2-3 times to the mall to actually buy an item. This drives my girlfriend mad. We went to the mall on Market and 4th the other day and after going through J.Crew, Banana Republic, the GAP, and Nordstrom, I had had enough. A few prospects but no purchases. I just couldn’t see myself spending that much on an article of clothing.

Yesterday, after fighting the cold the past few days, a package arrived at my office. Upon opening it, I recognized it was the coat I had seen from the GAP. I could not believe my girlfriend had spent that much money on something for me, let alone a coat. But she assured me she found a gap discount online which made it reasonable in price.

I’m excited as today is the first day that I wore the coat and thank goodness I had it. It is only about 40 degrees today and the wind from the bay is chilly. Anyways, stay warm all and have a great holiday season.
