The Glory of A.C.

I can't believe I grew up without air conditioning. By the time I was a teen, there was a window unit in my parents' room, by Dad's side of the bed, but I didn't even crave it.

None of our cars had A.C. H. and I even drove to California in the summer of 1990 in a hot box. By the time we pulled into Vegas, it was well over 100 degrees, and we could feel the heat from the asphalt through the floor of our low-slung Honda Civic hatchback,

I bring this up because we just have window units in our house, and every night, I can't wait to lie down by one--as I am right now. I am always overheated-- I attribute it to a combination of hormones, extra weight and age.

Grateful for cold air, clean sheets and tall glasses of ice water. 

Good night.
