Pretty bad this year. We've doing some remodeling on the top floor, and so have kept the AC running a lot more than we usually do to be kind to our workers. It gets hot up there.

Skinny dipping with Pierce Brosnan? Nah, hubby might not like that too much. Better just stick to cold refreshing drinks with umbrellas in them.

Lots of times. I try to do the "random acts of kindness" thing and it's a nice way of complimenting someone on a haircut. Plus I found a great place to cut my hair that way.
Just for Fun:
It is Compass day !!
Have you ever used a compass ?
Unless it points to where Pierce is secretly skinny dipping, I don't have much use for one.
