It became the running joke this past week that I spent out in Palm Springs, CA, where the temps averaged around 105 every day...every time someone would gasp "it is SOOO hot", someone would inevitably say, with extreme sarcasm, "yeah, but it's a dry heat." I think that is a fair assessment for anything under 100 degrees...once you start getting into the 100s, tho, dry or not, it's just HOT.
I was fortunate to be in a VERY nice villa all week with my friend Sue...we had the second-best villa at the La Quinta resort. We were in the Eisenhower Villa. The only better one was the El Presidente Villa, and that went to Phil Jackson, the coach of the L.A. Lakers. So I don't think we did too poorly. Here was the view out of the front of our villa - pool and mountains. In the mornings it was VERY nice out...cool and dry. I wish I had had time to go for a run or something in that weather. Ah well.
It was a loooooong, hot week, and I was VERY happy to come home yesterday and see Brendan and to just be relaxing most of today. Back to the office tomorrow for what will be 3 very busy days, I am sure, but then Brendan and I go to Vermont and New Hampshire on Thursday. Can't wait for that cool weather, some changing leaves, real maple syrup, a trip to the Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory, and just some nice time off.
Wow...116. Reminds me of my days living in Tucson, but even there we never saw much above 110, so yeah, it was MUCH cooler. Have fun on your trip with Brendan!!
ReplyDeleteYou know. An open flame is also a 'dry heat'
ReplyDeletebtw - the first 'Kevin' was 'Paige' scamming my id. Give-away is that I never lived in Tucson ;-)
ReplyDeleteHAAAAA! I know...I paused and thought to myself "when did Kevin live in Tucson???" but I was too busy to worry too much about it. Too funny.
