Yes, It's Hot Enough For Me
by Steve West on April 5, 2012
Recent conversation with Brenda:
Brenda: The weather's been getting a lot warmer lately.
me: I believe I noticed.
Brenda: I'm worried that our air conditioner is too old and won't be good enough this summer.
me: It'll probably last one more summer.
Brenda: I'm afraid the girls will get heat stroke.
me: I'll get heat stroke before they will. Consider my collapse an early warning system. Buy a new air conditioner with the insurance money.
Brenda: What makes you think the air conditioner is good enough?
me: I really don't know but we can test it. I'll invite Scott and Kelly up this summer. If they come in the house and feel like they're at home and then go outside and comment how chilly they are - I'll spring for a new air conditioner.
Brenda: Sounds good but don't get heat stroke.
me: Heat strokes aren't all that bad. I'll have the best tan in hell and it's all the fun of a real stroke without that left side paralysis thing.

Special Olympics
"Special Olympics athletes are spokespersons for freedom itself - they ask for the freedom to live, the freedom to belong, the freedom to contribute, the freedom to have a chance. And, of all the values that unite and inspire us to seek a better world, no value holds a higher place than the value of freedom." - Eunice Kennedy Shriver Olivia's participation in today's Special Olympics was incredibly uplifting for me and Brenda.

In all honesty, I felt physically ill after about 1/3 of the way through this list. I could actually taste some of this nauseating stuff and it made my stomach churn. I don't even want to know what raw horseflesh flavor is like. Go »Shadowlands
As much as I admire the shadow creations, I know I wouldn't be able to stand having the pile of trash responsible sitting in the middle of my rec room. Seriously, how many have a "gallery" in their home. Go »Isn't That The Red Skull In That Weird Pantsuit?
My internet idol, Uncle Scoopy, refers to Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham as Skeletor Spice for her resemblance to that cartoon character. Interestingly, she resembles other cartoon characters often, depending on how she dresses. She has got to make Blackwell's "Worst Dressed" this year. Go »Fast Food, Clowns & Intestinal Disease

Works for us. Our own central air conditioner is pretty weak: On a recent day, it was 94 outside, 82 inside. Can you get heat stroke while sitting inside in the shade? I have a window unit and Kelly's about to get a portable unit, so we'll survive, but it's definitely summer here already -- indoors.
