heat wave after heat wave...

The heat waves in this city are making me want a bit more of the true north strong and free more than ever in the 16 years I've been 'permanently' away. Even though it's down 10 degrees C to 30 today, it's not so refreshing ...not as much as I'd like. But, poor me, I could just jump in th pool [especially a good idea now that I've spent the morning cleaning it - looks brilliant and inviting]. Kids seem alright, albeit grumpy and tenuous in nature from lack of rest at night. Evan's in air conditioned respite comfort for the day. Russ is busy as is his usual good work ethic, "take-a-concrete-pill attitude" to the heat when something needs to be done.
