Steamed about the weather

Call it the summer of my discontent.

I am sure a lot of people are raving about this sunny, crisp weather.
Just think of the money we are all saving on air-conditioning.

Don’t count me among them.

I like it hot. And humid.

I’m glad I don’t own a pool. I’m not sure I would have used it yet this summer.

First there was the cool, rainy weather that hugged the region like a wet blanket for most of June.

Now that has cleared out and been replaced by sunny days. And cool nights.

And that’s my problem. I’m a porch guy. Give me the Phillies on the radio and a steamy, humid summer night and I’m a fairly happy camper.

And that’s the problem. By the time I get home, the weather is already turning. It’s chilly out. I wind up heading inside. Sometimes I even turn on the TV. Sacrilege for true connoisseurs of the game who know it was meant for radio.

I actually find myself closing windows at night to ward of the chilly air.

Tonight they are talking about the possibility of the overnight low dipping into the 50s. Which would be fine – for April.

We’re supposed to get a dose of heat and humidity this weekend. I’ll be on the porch if you need me.
