My brother, who lived in Safety Harbor, FL, had what we in Michigan would refer to as "Jim's obnoxious period." It ran from October to May, as he related his temperature and sunshine level on a weekly basis while asking us about ours. October to May is pretty much how long winter runs in Michigan. Florida was always our aim, but I swore I would never subject friends and family up north to that repulsive bragging. We only discuss with other Floridians about how lucky we are to be here!
