It is August - the 17th to be exact. Here I sit, inside Zeke's, at the counter facing the window, looking out on the Avenue.
It is August - and H-O-T! 89° F, to be exact and just barely Noon! The weather app says it feels like 98° F. I don't disagree.
It is August - I recall, decades ago - perhaps July 1983, I was attending the annual American Library Association conference. At these conferences, publishers have their new wares on display and provide free copies of books they expect will be hot (pun intended). Judith Rossner's August was being released and the give-away was not only the book but a really cool book bag that said August is HOT! complete with an appropriate graphic. Yes, I got the book and the bag! Read the book, donated it to the library. Used the bag til it wore out.
We have a quiet weekend on tap - the forecast calls for rain and cooler temps. That will be a welcome relief. And in my reading queue, I have several "cooler" books .
Enjoy your weekend!
Cheers~
