If there's anything that will really make you want a boat, it's living in a city where 90% of the buildings/places you're in don't have air-conditioning. To make it worse, try having a view of the water and seeing loads of boats out there daily! Yes, we've reached the time of year where Seattle has it's 4-day-long heat wave (90+ degrees) and is a bit unbearable at times. Go to bed a bit later, crack the windows, crank the fans to high. Go see a movie. Just don't stay inside in that oven you call a home :)
Clodagh's off in Ireland for the next week or so, and I've been back in what Randy used to call “bachelor-mode” again. Spent the past few days going to the horse races, poker room, soccer match, a couple softball games, and a quick nine-holes after work. So yes, I suppose you can say that I've been keeping the time filled!
Speaking of the softball team, we managed to pull out a nail-biter in the 2nd playoff game. The first game we would have won, except for that inning where the team gave up 9 runs. Kinda throws off my plans to check out highlander golf course on Sunday but that's OK - not too much longer that I get to try to hit home runs :) Almost hit one this past weekend, except that it rolled into the bushes and was called a ground-rule-double!
