I live in the Caribbean and there are no four seasons here. But, we do have a difference between rain/no rain. For instance, some trees lose their leaves annually so you go through a sort of autumn. Take the pye zanmann (Terminalia catappa L.) whose leaves are a bright green, then turn red/orange/yellow, fall off then grow back. Of course, if you have the bad luck job of sweeping the yard during the falling season, you hate that tree soooo much... My aunt, who lives in Montréal, always complains that the downside the the tropics is you never really changed clothes all year long. So you have to buy them constantly compared to seasonal clothing you can wear for years. I really don't care. I've only lived once threw the 4 seasons in Canada and I was soo confused. The dress and undressing, the layer rotations were so different. One thing I will say about having mostly the same temperature for 12 months is that you don't have to think before going outside, except if it's raining!!! I’d like to answer the “No Season” comment.

Especially from behind. Or when he gets that look in his eyes that make me wanna saunter in and sing a sultry Erikah Badu song. He can help me paint furniture. Nekkid. Or put up Christmas decorations. Sigh. I need less Monday Blues. There is nothing random about Mark Harmon. Especially from behind.

Oh, wait, is someone going to be driving you two around? Because if one of YOU is going to be driving, then I want video of the whole thing...

You can find out/ rediscover the darndest things! I got a good laugh out of this latest entry, as well as some music I'm going to need to check out iTunes for. BTW, I'm glad to find others in the "I'm glad Mark Harmon is on a TV show because it makes my week complete" bandwagon. Added bonus that NCIS is one of the best shows on tv imho! I concur with other bloggers- an entire blog (or discussion with the Cherries) of the virtues of Mark Harmon would be great. Enjoy the rest of the randomness of your Sunday!

Mark Harmon OMG, yes. That man just keeps getting better and better. In fact based my hero in my Jan book on him. Loved him in Chicago Hope, really loved him West Wing and one of my fav movies is The Presidio. What he did to Meg Ryan on the bonnet of that car - mmmmmmmm.Plus, Sean Connery was also in it - another man who has aged so damn well! Maybe we could have a whole Jenny blog spot on Mark Harmon virtues? How do we love him...let us count the ways. Alison (from Oz, the one who has to wait til 07 to have drinkees in the bar with you and will have to sip tea in 06 with the lady instead!!) Just had to comment.
