It’s another scorcher out there today. 101° by late afternoon. It’s not too bad so long as you stay in the air conditioning. It’s supposed to “cool off” by Sunday, when the forecast high is only 94°.
A little more progress with that neat project that I mentioned yesterday. I’m going to be looking at a sample contract next and, assuming everything is in order–or at least negotiable–it should be a done deal. Should be a fun gig, if all goes according to plan.
My daughter wanted to watch the Jon/Kate Plus 8 episode on TLC last night, so we checked it out. I know the show title is supposed to have an ampersand instead of a slash as I’ve shown it, but it seems like a division sign is more appropriate to their status. Last week they sat on the same couch but as far from each other as possible and visibly leaning away from each other. This week, they sat on the couch individually, but Jon sat on one end when it was his turn and Kate sat on the other end when it was hers, as if they still felt the presence of the other person and still needed the distance. Little wonder that the show is now going on hiatus for a few months.
The closer it gets to NECON date, the more I regret deciding not to go this year. It’ll probably turn out to be the best one yet. Besides, I’ll bet it won’t be 101° in Rhode Island.
