Brrrrr … after a beautiful day on Friday to lead us into the week, Saturday slapped us with a dose of cold – thus not a great day to attend an outdoor wedding reception in the evening … but hey … it was a wonderful event for an outstanding family.

The closest we have had to a weather change is cooler nights. The days are still hot. But breezy and nice. My honey has been OOT for the past four weekends in a row trying to get the boat ready to sell.
He has to go next weekend also. I may go too this time.

The ceremony was indoors. Although the reception was out, the large patio had a cover and patio heaters were scattered around the tables. But hey … cheers to your hikes!

That video could serve double duty as a public service message about why some people take forever in public bathrooms, Frank. Yes, the weather is so much cooler here in the Big Apple that the heat came up in my building today, for the first time since April. So bring on the Brandied Fruit tomorrow!

None of those celebrations appeal to me this week…think I’ll just go with Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi…..yep, I think it was I who put you onto Tom Shillue…a nice, funny guy who started out in my neck of the woods and can now be found on Comedy Central, as well as singing with the (gasp) Ragtime Gals……

(WInter already there?) The wedding was kept warm by joy and happiness, no doubt – is it time to start tossing dry shoes and warm coats in the car again just in case?
We are mid 80’s with nice fresh north wind and low humidity. Dog walks are much longer and at faster speed now. (and squirrels are romping and not watching traffic!)

If it were possible to give you a “double like” on this post, I would! I LOVE the video and I need to keep that close for any time I’m feeling in need of a little happy. This was just the best! And I’m trying to think of any stretch of the imagination as to why someone would designate Cap Locks Day. Maybe we just yell at everyone all day. Your cooler, stormy weather sounds like I would expect for fall. We are having a large family birthday party at our house next Saturday—guess what’s predicted? More 90 degree temperatures. I’d like to have a little conversation with the legislators you previously referenced that don’t think we have a climate change issue. Despite it all…have a great week, Frank. 🙂

Because you enjoyed this video so much, I have it on as I type this response. As far as Cap Locks Day, I see that it’s Wednesday … now my wheels are turning!
We have a possible warming trend the rest of the week … and by the weekend, it should be fabulous, which means you should consider moving the party to Cincinnati for the low 70s.

I’m sure the newly weds didn’t even feel the cold, Frank. Florida still has hot days, but as sknicholls, already told you, our nights are pleasantly cooler. Tom Shillue was certainly having as much fun as one can have in the bathroom, when fully clothed. 🙂 “Make a difference day” sounds good to me.

Shillue is remarkable. I watched carefully and never once did he glance at the camera! I find that amazing – I couldn’t do it. What does that say about a person’s ability to dissemble? Do the more able (not necessarily better) politicians have that ability? I know from House of Cards that Kevin Spacey has it.
After the clip, I watched one of Shillue’s monologue performances and it confirmed his talent. He can make everyone in a large audience feel like they are in a personal, candid conversation with him.

Glad you enjoyed this clip. I didn’t know Shillue until Cynthia identified him in one the the Ragtime Gals clips (Jimmy Fallon) … then I found this one.
