For every dark hot cloud

We're diving right into summer with a heat wave. Actually I think it started the day before the Solstice. But yeah, it's been hot and humid all over the place.

On the plus side, I've made a discovery. If you're, say, at the computer and your arm is going to be resting on varnished wood for a while, you can lessen the unpleasant sweaty sensation by laying a washcloth underneath. A small but welcome comfort.

Hopefully, this was a heat wave that didn't last very long. Glad you
found a solution to the sticky arm problem.

We thought you might enjoy some chilling out sounds with Sarah Vaughn and Sammy Davis, Jr.
(He was good but really couldn't keep up with her amazing talent -
what a wonderful voice!)

It's tended a lot to heat and humidity but generally it's been more moderate than that. We still have most of July and all of August to go so I'm bracing myself.

That was a wonderful duet. Sure, he couldn't exactly match her but he brought his own je nais se quois to the thing. This is apparently from Sammy and Company, a talk/variety show he hosted that I only found out about just now.
