Instead of enjoying the Rose Bowl parade like I usually do on New Year’s Day, I found myself jealous of those who were wearing T-Shirts and shorts while riding on the floats.
Sigh…
I guess you could say I’m already getting cabin fever and it is only January. I hope I am not alone, because I compiled this list of local winter events for all you Funcoasters. Check them out and distract yourself from getting the fever too badly.
