I need a hair cut and the dirty clothes bin is full and while I'm add it, I might as well change the sheets on the bed. That could be my Monday. But I may move the haircut to Wednesday.

The Mariners are moving east - Texas and then Miami.This means night games start at 5 or 4 my time and frees up a lot of evenings for TiVo catch up.

I realized long ago that my idea of wonderful weather was not shared by anyone. And everyone else's idea of beautiful weather was pretty much the antithesis of mine. But, along with this revelation came the realization that no one gives a shit. This time of year, as the weather changes, everyone feels compelled to comment on the good or the bad of it. My feelings are usually the opposite. I used to point out that not everyone thinks this hot weather is wonderful or that the rain is horrible. But, now I just nod and agree with whatever their stupid opinion of the weather is. It makes it all easier on everyone - maybe not me but really, in the end, me, too.

We are having bright, sunny, relatively warm weather today. Not my favorite by a long shot. I have exchanged words with maybe 4 people today and all 4 insisted that I agree the weather is wonderful and aren't we lucky??!!  One dude in the pool even noted that we should be swimming outside today!  (I swim outside ONLY when there is no indoor option available at all and usually select no swimming rather than swim outdoors.)

So bitch, moan, whine... for no good reason at all.  Maybe my attitude needs a haircut. I'll bet that's it.

I don't care fro really warm weather. I enjoy the fall and winter. Yet I live in a place that gets 100+ degree days regularly throughout the summer, and will likely retire to a place that is hot (and humid) all year round.

I need a haircut too.

I was going to go this afternoon, but didn't, so I'm still shaggy. Maybe next week...

When I first moved to Sacramento, it was a 116 degree day. I swore I would move back to the Bay Area as soon as I could. It's been 30 years, and I'm still here, fully acclimated to the rhythms of Sacramento weather.

One time on an 85 degree day, one of my neighbors said "Isn't it gorgeous today?" I said (very nicely) that it was a little too hot for me. He looked the other way and didn't say another word to me, then didn't even say hi to me for the next 6 months.

Anyway, on those gorgeous grey wet days, I'm enjoying them with you.

I used to hate it when people talked about the weather, period. I never quite 'got' the appeal of small talk, probably because I was an absolute horror show when it came to it. Now I have convinced myself that when people do that, they're just trying to connect in some small way to another human being. I am much better at small talk now because I just take their cue and run with it.
