I loathe the wet heat of August in Minnesota. It makes me crabby and out of sorts. I can't think of anything good to say or think about it. But then I remember this quote, from Good Morning, Vietnam:

The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon.

That movie was from a summer when I had no job, no responsibilities, and the freedom to spend every weekend hanging out with friends and being young. It makes me smile to remember, even while I wish for the coolness of an autumn night.
