Baby It’s Hot Outside!

July 19, 2011 by Corey 8 Comments

It’s hot. Really hot. Sticky hot. Painfully hot. Fried-egg-on-a-sidewalk hot. Hate-the-sun hot. Disgustingly hot. Wander-the-apartment-in-just-underwear hot. In other words, it is once again summer in New York City. Like last year I am doing my best to stay cool and thought I would try to help all of you wonderful readers do the same. Sit back, relax, poor yourself a nice cold glass of iced tea, enjoy your air conditioning, and pretend that it is winter…

I hope this attempt to keep you cool paid off, at least a little bit. Stay out of the sun and keep hydrated!

I can commiserate with you, Corey, but you came up with some nice frosty shots! I feel cool already! I lived in Manhattan for a while in a walk-up apartment with no AC – the worst was the brick buildings on the streets kept their heat all night.

Want to feel cold? Come down here to Kiwiland.

It’s actually rather pleasant in Costa Rica right now- warm and humid with a high of 80 or so in the Central Valley. Rains a lot though.
