thursday...

It's barely noon and it's already 80-some-odd degrees outside. I have propped up at an unnamed Seattle-based coffee chain in Multnomah Village because this is the closest place to my house that a) has AC b) usually plays a good mix of Eddie Vedder and Johnny Cash and c) can keep me in the Pumpkin Spice Lattes I need to fuel my addiction for the next three months (what classifies as a substance abuse problem?)

There is something I need to get off my chest though:

Hey... Portland... C'mere a minute... No, closer... Closer even... I want to whisper something in your ear...

IT'S SEPTEMBER! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AUTUMN OUTSIDE! WHY DIDN'T YOU GET THIS HEAT WAVE OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM IN JULY WHEN WE REALLY NEEDED IT (and when I was in London and could have avoided it altogether)?!

There. I said it. I'm sorry I yelled.

Hope you're all havin' a happy (I know Robin is always has a happy).

  1. I love your posts! Very witty! Sorry to hear about the heat wave...here in Jacksonville, FL we are being teased with the idea of fall...it was 60 this morning and breezy so you think GREAT...FALL WEATHER...then mid afternoon I'm sweating to death in my pants and light sweater...sigh...perhaps there is something to this whole global warming thing...wait..is it now called "climate change"?

    I still haven't had a PSL yet...I went there this morning but ordered my usual...Caramel Macchiato....maybe tomorrow =)
