Another month has begun. So far this summer we have enjoyed rather mild temperatures with short, enjoyable bursts of rain. Well, August has decided to buck the trend and be a "real" summer month. Wowsers, it's been hot! And humid! Anyone missing CA yet? YES! WE ARE!! We finally bought an air conditioner thru-the-wall unit for our living room, so we hung up a curtain across the hallway and manage to keep the front of the house a fairly decent temperature. We turn off the AC when we go out and it's not uncommon to come back to a house that's 87 degrees. Blech. Unlike CA where it's almost certain to cool down at night, we've been getting no relief after the sun goes down. So, we've started to sleep on a mattress in the living room. We don't like running the AC 24/7, but that's what it's been this last week. "Welcome to New York."
