Let me be the last one to announce the beginning of summer in New Orleans. It is now officially hot and humid. We had months of amazing weather. One of the longest springs that I ever remember having in New Orleans. Of course weather is not the only indication of summer. Tulane and Loyola just had their graduations. A big congratulations to all of the Middlebury graduates, wherever across the country they may now be!

Back to me and my oh-so-important world. The days are hot and wet. I don’t mind the humidity and the heat, in some ways it feels nice. You just need a cold drink to really enjoy being outside. I could do without swarming termites. Luckily they don’t bother me and my apartment very much.
