The Cool Side of the Pillow

I grew up in New York, and I've never seen so many freakin' 90 degree days and nights...

Global warming shmarming, it's been too damn hot!

It's almost a metaphor for the what's going on with most people I know:
Unbearable heat in their lives personally, financially or both...
Most folks have had a really tough year or two, and they've been facing intimidating challenges day after day...
They're hot, tired and worried...they need some relief
There may not be a dude on the corner selling apples, but most of us are feeling the times

The good news is that we're all in this thing together!
Imagine if you were the only one on your block experiencing an economic slow down...can you say low self-esteem?
Everyone is feeling the same pressure to pay for the house and take care of themselves...
And it's good that we can rely on each other to vent or change the subject when we're taking all this too seriously...
I'm a dedicated figure outer, and sometimes I just need to let it go and go watch a ball game

The other night I experienced one of my favorite parts of this season...the cool side of the pillow...ahhhhhhh!

Even in the dogs days of the summer of 2010, there's always some relief somewhere!

Stay cool,

Rob
