Here's a photo from the archives. Hmmm. And I thought he was helping.
It's hot and there are thunderstorms. That means it must be summer.
And we love it. Almost every part of it, but most of all, it's too hot to wear a tie to work; it's nice to just walk out the door without worrying about gloves andd scarves and coats; it's nice to sit out on the deck and brave the mosquitoes; it's nice to sleep with the windows open; and to drive with the windows open; it's nice to watch baseball, especially when our teams are doing so well. Why can't it always be summer? Mary reminded me that we do like the other seasons (just not as much) and we wouldn't like summer so much if it weren't for the other seasons.
Enough of rambling. Let's get to the news. Margaret has a new house! She got fed up with her housemates and moved out, into a nicer house not too far away. We went down Saturday night to see her and she is in the throes of unpacking and setting up. No fun, but it is better.
Annie went down to North Carolina for a post-graduation party with some Hamilton friends. She had more of an adventure than she would have liked on the way home. She's here through August and is looking to take some art classes.
We have caught up with a couple of Peace Corps friends in the last two weeks, both of whom we hadn't seen since the mid 90s. One was a woman who had moved to Durban and married a year before we got there. She finally through in the towel and pulled up roots, and is now living down the road with her four daughters. Bit of a culture shock. The other is moving here from Sri Lanka with no job, but wants his children to go to high school in the states.
We're following the Sotomayor nomination closely, as she was a classmates of John's. She was well-known on campus as being smart and politically active. Wonder if there's a kiss and tell book in it for me? Swift boaters, where are you?
We talked to Peter, who was at reunions, and to Grandma and she was doing well, but not at reunions.
Love from down here.

In Upstate New York, we can use some of your "heat". Temps have been in the 40's and it doesn't feel like June at all.
Great picture - maybe you are right and he is "helping" you - depends on what your were trying to grill!
enjoy!
