Phoenix, Arizona

Have you ever been to Phoenix? If not, allow me to provide a tangible analogy of the weather. When I slide open my balcony door, it is like I am opening a 400 degree oven to check on the food cooking inside.

I'm back in Phoenix and thankfully it is no longer summer. My above description of Phoenix is more applicable to when we drove here last June with no air conditioning while trapped in a traffic jam and roasting in a vehicle which oddly resembles a hot dog. I am happy to report that the AC is now functioning and the weather has cooled down to a comfortable 90 degrees for autumn.

We will be working here for the weekend. Then we'll drive back to Los Angeles to fly out of LAX for meetings at headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin.
