Kish and I took Penny on our early morning walk this Labor Day, 2010. The weather has grown a bit cooler, and last night we slept with windows open and enjoyed the fresh air. This morning the temperature was probably in the 50s as we strolled along beneath overcast skies. As we walked, I noticed [...]

Jeans And Sweatshirts

For the last few months, the clothing of choice for the early morning walk has been shorts and t-shirts. The weather has been hot and humid, and on some days even shorts and t-shirts seemed stifling. On this morning’s walk, however, there was a decided coolness to the air and a fine breeze. As Penny [...]

Kish and I have decided to try some new summer beverages, just to change things up a bit. After a steady diet of hot, humid days, it is worth experimenting with some different thirst-quenching drinks. Tonight’s frosty fluid of choice is a dry cider — in this case, Strongbow, which is advertised as “England’s Dry [...]

This morning I played golf. We had an 8:20 tee time, and with an early start time you expect it to be cool during the first few holes. Not so today! It started hot and just kept getting hotter and hotter. Our group walks and carries our bags to maximize the exercise and rhythm of [...]
D.C. Heat Wave

I saw that the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area experienced a heat wave today, with the temperature reaching 100 degrees in June for the first time since 1997. The story about the heat wave brought back some memories. Kish and I lived in D.C. from 1981 through 1986, and during the summer the heat was the [...]
Summer Storms

Last night a cell of severe thunderstorms rolled through central Ohio and knocked out power in our neighborhood for hours. It was our first true summer storm of the season, with all of the hallmarks of the same: fierce winds, a torrent of rain, heavy thunder and lightning, a quick, sharp drop in the temperature, [...]
Summer Is Here

It feels like it, anyway. Today the temperature got to the mid-80s, and bright sunshine lit up the landscape after long, grey days of rain. I sat outside on one of our patio chairs, barefoot and in shorts and a Piton t-shirt, listening to music and reading the afternoon away. Birds were singing in the [...]

We’ve been having amazing weather in Columbus the last few days. Today it was 80-plus degrees, bright and sunny, and not humid. The Tip-Top Kitchen and Due Amici, our neighboring Gay Street restaurants, had their sidewalk dining tables out, and they were doing a very brisk trade. Weather like this makes you want to be [...]

It rained for most of the day today, but this afternoon the rainclouds broke, the sun shone through, and Kish and I took Penny for a walk. I took my trusty digital camera to record some of the signs of spring we saw — and after a long winter, they are most welcome, indeed!
