Heatwave!
If I had a dime for every time I heard "hot enough for you" this weekend I could retire.
LA's in a bit of a heatwave at the moment, the temp in Long Beach was 88, which for 99% of the nation's population would probably be tolerable, but not for us who call L.A. home. As I native Californian, it pains me to say this but we're wusses when it comes to weather. Seriously. I've never been to another part of the country where a 1/2 inch of rain is cause for "Storm Watch" news coverage. And my bet is the local news will begin with a story on the heat with gripping accounts of "what did you do to keep cool today". I know what a few thousand people did already based on the traffic in my little enclave; they came to Long Beach and Shoreline Village specifically. Drastic countermeasures had to be used just to get my regular spot on the Tequila Jack's patio.
Other than that, not much happening here. Back to work tomorrow where I have to brief several visitors from Wash D.C. which means I have to have my gameface on at 7:00 a.m. East Coasters aren't very tolerant of a minor detail called a timechange. They'll be ready to go at 7:01, want to break for lunch at 9:00 and then finish for the day by noon. We'll of course comply with their requests (ever seen an East Coaster get cranky? It's not pretty) but I hope the marine layer comes in so they get to enjoy looking at June Gloom for their afternoon off!

Annie!
You owe me a monitor and a cup of coffee; I completely lost it when I read your blog name. I don't think I'll make it to Boston this summer, but I would love to see what "Fall" looks like. I'll keep ya posted. Good to hear from you!
Wow you have updated your blog... congratulations!
Well mate do not complain about the weather and it being hot out there, have a look at my blog!!
It's friggin freezing! I got snowed in and could not get to work, in some areas the power has only just come on after 36 hours of shortage.
So glad you are ok, how did you like Corpus Christie.... takes me back mate, those stupid times with space cadet Lt(you know who I mean).
The only thing about Texas which really confused me was that you could buy beer in the supermarket, but had to go the liquor stoor for wine???? What is that all about.
You take care, good to see that you've got the hang of blogging.
ps - have a look at the blog for pics.
Hey Gina!!
Hi Trace-
SNOW!...better you than me! I may not like the heat, but snow is the worst! Ah yes, LT Space Cadet...such fond memories. Rumor has it he may still be in the area; his Hawaiian roommate is definitely there (hope I don't run into him). I'll drop you an email after my trip to let you know what sort of trouble I managed to get into. Take care!
LANI! So good to see your typeface. I owe you an email too. Anything up with Jay these days? I always have trouble logging on to ja.com. Please say hi to Troy for me.
