Good Morning and it is nice to see the sun before 7.
Driving around after a cool birthday party Saturday (Laser Tag!), I was hit about how nice and warm it was for Nov. 2.
So, I asked my passengers what they wanted to do.
"Let's go the mall," said one.
"I want to go home and play video games," said another.
"I don't know," said the third (yes, he's a teenager).
OK, to me, when you can wear short sleeve shirts outside in November, well, you better take advantage of it.
So, my first thought was a playground. That would be fun ... for about 15 minutes. Then the older ones (OK, just the teenager) would start moping about things being boring.
I remembered a miniature golf course from days go by. We were close, so that was the idea.
We played (yes, there are always arguments), but the warmth and the sun made it pretty nice.
Then came Sunday.
I knew when I first woke up and heard the wind it was going to be cold.
That playoff soccer game at 3 was going to be downright chilly.
I wasn't ready for the winter, though. My light jacket wasn't going to be enough, but I didn't want to miss the game.
So, I froze, but watching the team of 10/11-year olds play their hearts out made it feel just a little bit warmer.

Rise and Shine --- Wah, wah, wah
Good Morning and welcome back to the heat!
So, why do we first complain about the cold, then turn around and complain about the heat? Probably because we like to complain.
I mean, really, really complain. Walk into any place of business and you will hear people complaining. Heck, walk into the newsroom here at the Daily Times and you'll start complaining through osmosis.
We complain about the water. We complain about the computers. We complain when the air conditioners are on, we complain when the heat is on.
I'm sure it's not just a phenomenon here in the grand ol' US of A, but it sure seems like we like to complain, a lot.
I was in a store the other day and a couple of employees were complaining that there were only powdered doughnuts left. It wasn't just disappointment either. This was a full out complaint, the person even was threatening to quit over the disservice.
While working a few years ago in a department store, somebody actually complained when they had to help a customer. Wait a minute, isn't that your job?
Less you think I'm taking on just the workplace, I've heard a myriad of complaints about breakfast/lunch/dinner over the last few years. Now, come on, what's exactly wrong with tuna casserole?
Anyway, one complaint you won't hear is from me. Thanks for reading.

Rise and Shine --- Cool, night
Good Morning and welcome to June!
I used to look forward to June. After all, it was the real start of summer. School was over. Swimming. Reading. Relaxing.
This year, I hope it gets over quickly. Maybe I could fall asleep this week and wake up some time in July. Hey, you never know.
Speaking of sleep, there was none coming last night as the hot, stagnant air floated through the house. After lying there for a few minutes, it became obvious the ceiling fan wasn't going to cut it. So, I had to break down and put a couple of air conditioners in the windows.
Much like turning on the heat in October, I fight the urge to put in those window units. Not that it's hard, but once their in, their on.
I try to keep them on just at night, so there is a possibility of at least a few hours of sleep. There's nothing worse than a hot, humid night to mess with your sleep schedule.
Now, to convince myself the big units downstairs don't need to go in yet.

Rise and Shine
Good Morning and stay in the air conditioning if possible today.
All of a sudden, California doesn't look so good. First there are fires all over the place, then an earthquake hit Los Angeles. Now, they say 'THE BIG ONE' may be on the way. Wait a minute, perfect weather all year? OK, never mind.
So, we have the Rolling Stones playing concerts while pushing 70. The Who (Roger Daltry 64, Pete Townshend, 63) are coming to the area this fall. Van Halen toured last year in their upper 50s. John McCain, 71, is running for president Now, there's word out that Cheech, 62, and Chong, 70, are going to reunite for a movie.
Well, I guess it's real, we can all forget about retirement. Although, Cheech and Chong were funny in their day, I don't know if their comedy floats these days.
Let me know what you think:
