Thermostat's Broke Hot around here, headed for the mid-90s today and over the weekend.  We're not a tropical people, and we're all a little stunned by this spate of sunny, warm weather.  We feel guilty about it, and don't quite trust it.  Many continue to pursue their normal arctic activities - running at lunchtime, for instance - and in doing so look a little like Zamboni machines trying to smooth the Sahara for a hockey game. I'm flying to Detroit Saturday, then to Milwauke to work next week, and usually when I head to the midwest this time of year, I look with dread (or don't look at all) at the area's weather.  This time, however, it looks like I'll be going there to cool off. 6:33:17 AM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []

Remodeling I've been playing around with the layout here a little bit, sort of like rearranging the furniture and repainting.  I've been afraid of completely blowing up the template by changing much, leaving the site a smoldering heap of disconnected bytes.  Nothing against Salon, but I've been wanting to get rid of that standard Salon banner with the creepy glistening lips for a long time, and finally took the plunge.  I feel like I've defaced a billboard, and Clear Channel's private detectives will be breaking down my door any minute, but I also feel the sense of accomplishment that would accompany spray-painting a moustache on an Ann Coulter poster.  I'm a little braver now with the HTML, maybe things will look less drab around here. 6:12:36 AM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []
