Central air or summer suffering?
When I came home from work today and stepped inside my house, it was as if I sat down on the face of the sun. The thermostat read 86 degrees, and once again, I asked myself, "Why the hell don't I have central air?"

Push summer back a month
It makes sense, really. Even though we all think summer runs from June through August, that's not particularly accurate here in the upper Midwest. With temperatures hovering in the low 60s this week -- and it's already June 9 -- it doesn't really feel very summery, does it?

The best bar in the world is close to home
It's bar month at OnMilwaukee.com and I won't likely get out to more than a couple bars all month in my leisure time. The result is that my bar of choice is the liquor cabinet and the refrigerator at home. While the image of someone drinking at home is sometimes perceived as a sad one, I rarely feel blue when I pop the cap on a Stella or pull the cork out of a beloved Barbera in my kitchen and enjoy it with dinner.
