I've Just About Had Enough!!!!!

THIS IS NO LONGER FUNNY!

At the risk of having to read what Chip will have to say about this, I enclose our latest weather advisory. This will be our 3rd nor'easter in a little over a week. The temperature got to 62 once this spring but hasn't been out of the 50's in the last couple of weeks. The thermometer is hovering at about 46 as I write......Well there's nothing I can do but wait to hear from Chip and Sean............

Harry,
I will be attending Harvard's Institute for Management and Leadership 6/18- 30 for may initial session. If you are around I would enjoy saying hello! Give me a shout. I promise to bring some of this fine Southern weather with me when I come.

Oh! I wish I was in the land of Cotton, old times there and not forgotten, look away, look away, Dixieland.

HC: when you wake up on a July morning and take a nice morning walk about the Cape, keep in mind that if you were in "the land of cotton" it would already be unbearable by 7:30AM. At 5PM as things are starting to cool off a bit, think about living someplace where every day for 5 to 6 months the temperature is above 90, the humidity above 95% and just as you are leaving work there is a downpour that leaves the air unbearably heavy and you a sodden heap. And then, there are the bugs......I lived in Florida for a long time and New Orleans for a couple years, believe me, there was a reason the south started its population growth post air conditioning!

The South is great in the winter, but the summers there last a long time and bring to mind Noel Coward's famous ditty about mad dogs and Englishmen!!!


That said, you folks are getting your share of crazy s*** weather up there!!!
