...the temperature's rising!

This is oppression if I've ever seen it. I'm done with it and there's no holding me back. All of a sudden, it happened, too... like wam-bam-thank-you-ma'am, all at once the cold air breezed away and WOOSH! we're having a heat wave.

I visited the NYC once in mid-August and thought it was pretty hot, yeah. But now I'm living through it. And working through it. And spending my days in it. UNFAIR. I am going to do my best to never actually spend a summer in this city in my life if I can help it. And hey, so far so good.

I leave town one week from today for the tropic clime that is the Pocono Mountains. Of course, where I'll be working is supposedly internet-free... no, not no-cost-internet, but no internet at all... so updates my be fewer and farther in between than normal, but hey, sue me.

Holy cats! Internet-FREE! That's crazy talk, man!
Well, good luck!
I'm assuming you're working at some summer rep thing?
I remember in '84 when I was doing a show, and then, later, the rest of the summer season at the Bristol Valley Playhouse in Naples, NY. It felt very isolated there. "Downtown" was just a road through town. Excitement was when the ShurFine grocery store decided to stay open on Sundays as well.
Escape was driving a full half hour, late at night, to Canandaigua to go to the 24 hour Perkins.
When I returned home, I remember seeing the just released INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM and I never enjoyed a movie so much. I think part of it was the movie itself and part of it was being media starved for the summer.

Ahhh.... memories.

You're gonna be like Rip van Winkle when you leave the Poconos and check out the 'net again!
