Dear Sun...

We have been friends for some time now, haven't we?

Very close friends, I might add.

There are very few times I can remember you not being around when I was growing up

in AZ.

Now it's only a matter of time...

Soon there will be snow, you will be hidden by grey clouds for 4 to 6 months,

and we will be left to entertain ourselves and stay warm inside.

I'm sure you know this,

so thank you for fighting your way through the cold to show your face at least one last 

time this past  Thanksgiving Weekend.

It's as if you knew Trevor Jay had those days off and you wanted to make them extra special.

Thank you my good friend.

At least we will be together a little longer in our old stomping grounds.

See you soon.
