    In NJ that's for sure. It's like getting hit in the face as soon as I walk outside.

    I was on vacation a week ago in Myrtle Beach, SC, and it was quite hot. However, coming back home to NJ, it's still the same. ~_~

    Global warming, all! ;)

    I live near Sacromento, here we lack the humidity but we make up for it in pure heat. We had a 9 day heat wave with tempatures all above 100, with a peak of 111. I hate the summers here.

    my beloved North Carolina... though that humid heat is something I can do without. I spent two summers of my childhood working for a lawn care business with my grandfather in Winston-Salem. (We had already moved here to Texas from Raleigh) Boy... talk about HOT... 13 yards in one day... thats a lot of weed-eatin'! The trees though are the biggest thing I miss... (so trivial, I know) Living in the San Antonio area their idea of "trees" are these shrub oaks that would pass for shrubery back east. Glad to see the article got published... I look forward to reading it. Thanks for the update Anand!

    The trees are why my parents moved me here, that and the fact that I said I wanted to go to medical school when I was little. One out of two aint bad :)

    If you ever head back this way drop me an email :)

    Take care,

    Funny... I wanted to be a Doctor too, but ended up in computers. At least my patients don't complain when they're sick and I don't have to hassle with insurance!

    Anand... I know that it's a totally different kind of site, but I really miss the old days in the 90's when you gave your personal updates as part of the front page. In some ways, I lived my 30's vicariously through your teens reading about your school adventures and such.

    Ah well... life goes on!

    Certainly will. I make it out there once a year at least to visit my extended family. (Usually at Christmas time or so) Cousin is at State right now, and his sister starts this month. Great place to live, and the people have always been fantastic around there. Nothing like growing up in little 'ol Cary... just a little different back then... and we moved only 14 years ago! I love reading your updates on the area... brings back fantastic memories.
