Summer has, I think, finally arrived. It’s been in the 80’s in the afternoons around here, and muggy in the fun Southeast Michigan “air like a wet washcloth” fashion. I’m really tempted to wash my car, just to cool off a bit.

\nOn Sunday we did a combined “Happy Mothers Day” and “Surprise Birthday” party with the in-laws at Real Seafood. We got all dressed up to go… well… dressed up for a weekend, I guess. It wasn’t “tie and jacket” kind of dressed up for me, just a “freshly shaved and with a nice shirt” dressed up.<\/p>\n
And a good thing too.<\/p>\n
When we were getting ready to depart for the party, my wife headed out with a nice velour turtleneck that was tres chic<\/i> last month. When we got outside, she realized that last month’s fine clothing was this month’s guaranteed heatstroke, so she headed back in and did a quick change into something less insulating. If I’d tried the tie and jacket look, it would have taken me much longer to get re-readied, assuming I didn’t simply melt on the driveway the instant I got into the sunlight.<\/p>\n
So yeah, with the combination of heat, sunlight, evening rains and general humidity, I think it’s safe to say that winter is gone…<\/p>\n
Of course, now that I’ve said that, we’re gonna get snow. This is<\/b> Michigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
