The Weather Stinks in Florida (updated)

I've been in Miami twice in my life. I expect good weather when I'm here.
Right now the wind is blowing and it's overcast. Weather man says in the upper 50's but it feels like the lower 40's.

I'm down here to cover the Orange Bowl at Dolphin Stadium. I spent a better part of my day searching for a clothing store so I could find something warm to wear. I was not prepared for Kansas-like weather on this trip.

Brrr.

See... Even Katherine McPhee of American Idol is cold.

Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top is too cool for cold. Plus, he's got that beard, and I'm sure that adds a bit of insulation.

Didn't you check the weather before you left?

OH those big brothers think they know it all. (Hi, Craig). Stay warm, Travis. You'll soon be back in warmer Kansas climes.

Matt, love your organizational skills when it comes to making a point or two. Instead of a simple 1,2,3,4, you decided to go with the ever-popular a,2,3,c style.

Dude, I was going to call you about going to the game but I forgot. Reminds me of the 2000 Fiesta Bowl, which involves a long story about Y2K.

Short version, I worked New Years Ever and it was 60 degrees. Flew to Phoinex New Years Day, low thirties. Naturally I assumed it would be as warm in Arizona so all I had were shorts and t-shirts.
