How Hot Was It?

It was SO hot...

...we didn't have to heat the hot tub....

Well, summer finally got here. Our deck thermometer hit 113 yesterday. It was still 102 when we drove past the bank readout on the way home from dinner. Today wasn't quite as hot out there today, a measly 109. We sat outside for coffee and the Sunday paper, but by 9:30 it was time to go inside. Gotta be the early bird these days...

And we are having a rare thunderstorm. With mega lightning bolts. Just like Texas. The dog is not pleased, but I'm enjoying it.

Speaking of Texas, kudos to the 'stros for hanging in there against my home boys. Jilly Bean was at the game Saturday night, and reports that the crowd got their money's worth. How about that Mark Loretta...a 3 run homer! I still wear my Loretta Sox shirt, after all, how often does your name show up on a MLB shirt?

When it's hot, we watch movies. If you haven't seen it, rent The Bucket List. Morgan Freeman is always terrific, and Jack Nicholson was perfectly cast. Thank God I didn't have to watch him paired up with a too young female lead (a la Helen Hunt). Yuk! He was great in this. See it.
