If God had meant for men to live in heat like this then he would bring us into this world naked and wet, wouldn't he. But I'm not going to worry about that. Instead I'm just going to think of Christmas trees, and sleigh bells ringing, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Unfortunately, with heat like this you don't need an open fire to get your chestnuts roasted. Just get into your car after it's been sitting in the sun all day and believe me they'll get good and roasted. But enough, enough I say. There's nothing you can do about the weather so why dwell on things you cannot change.

Instead, why not forget the cares of the day and just enjoy the cool of a summer evening. That's my plan and that's why right now you can find me sitting comfortably in the backyard listening to a live broadcast of the SF Symphony's Opening Night Gala. The heat has passed and I can't imagine anything more delightful than a little Debussy streaming out of my computer under a twinkling canopy of stars. I'm pretty old fashioned for the most part and like the old, familiar ways, but I have to admit this modern world does have it's conveniences.

And with that I hope you'll excuse me. I hear the orchestra tuning up and so I better get back to my seat. Not much of a blog tonight, but why blog on a night like this.
