My name is Lila and I'm an alcoholic.

I'm a alcoholic.

Sorry. Anything cold, I start coughing. I just think I should have a cold. I'm an alcoholic, so if I'm cold and there's snow I should be sick.

I want to thank Wendy for picking me up at the airport

and for being so gracious.

And Alex, her son son for joining us.

When she picked me up, there was this big icicle hanging off the back of her car.

I thought, oh, God.

You know, because of course I'm looking out the window of the plane thinking,

these weather forecasters have no clue, there's no rain, there's no snow, there's nothing happening here.

Didn't have to have a coat and a scarf and, you know, be all bundled up.

And of course they saw the icicle and thought

oh interesting this end of the country because you know each place I've been has

had different weather and it's like within 10 minutes of each place I've been has had different weather.

And it's like within 10 minutes of each other.

I don't know how you do it up here.
