the weather is beautiful -- bwah ha ha ha ha ha!

The weather is finally beginning to behave, just when I was about to write a very strongly-worded letter of complaint.

It's time for irresponsible beach outings, lemonade, regular napping, sailing and swimming. Of course, it will also soon be time for termite infestations, fire ant invasions, 3rd degree burns from walking on sidewalks, sudden death from heat prostration and neighborly visits from enormous palmetto bugs -- which have gotten so large that I've taken to naming them things like "Robert" and "Frederick" right before I squish them.
