Let's talk about the weather

It was a hot one in Philly today.  We were (and still are as I write) a solid 30 degrees hotter than all you Salt Lake City (and suburbs) folks out there, and I am learning more every day than I am not horribly fond of this humidity that we have here.  When we first went outside this morning, we were in the mid-70's and it felt like I was standing in the same room as an indoor swimming  pool.  I was thinking that the mid-70's were plenty warm if I had to deal with the whole sauna feeling in addition to the temperature but the day had other plans for me.  Back in the dry desert that is Utah, I have enjoyed many 90 degree days, but that's a different kind of 90 degrees.  So we decided to go downtown to this absolutely adorable mini golf course that they have outside in a park.  It's only like 2 blocks from the subway but by the time we got to the park, we had to sit on a bench in the shade for a couple of minutes to cool off.  I was drenched in sweat by the time we'd finished our golf game.  It was still really fun and I kicked Zack's butt (it's ok, he whomped me last time we played that course), but next time, I think we'll skip going in the middle of the day when it's nasty outside like that.  It got to 96 today. It's still 90 now, and it's 9:00 PM.  Thankfully, after our little outing we were able to return to our air-conditioned apartment, and I really am grateful for that because I know that there are definitely a lot of people here with no AC. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a summer person.  It is the best season.  Hot weather and sunshine makes me happy.  But not this kind of summer.  I want my dry heat back.  We're supposed to stay in the 90s for 3 more days (hitting 98 on Monday!).  If anyone wants to come over and partake of my air conditioning, please feel free.  I will be home much of next week studying for finals.  Call me.  I should actually have cell phone reception by then.  But that's a story for another time.
