Given her talent, intelligence, grace, and beauty (not to be discounted in a visual, celebrity-obsessed age) Michelle Wie could have gone to college anywhere. Stanford is on many top-five lists of major American universities, so it's a wise choice. However, if one of the factors in her decision is our warm weather--to quote Rick in Casablanca--she's been misinformed.
For the past several weeks the morning temperature's hovered around freezing. Frost is on the lawn, and the flowers that have survived previous winters are long dead. I run the furnace sparingly, but it will be difficult to keep the gas bill under $200 this month.
