Listening to the Warm

The solstice is speaking and it's time for men and women of good character and bronze-ing skin to listen. Though you might want to apply some sunscreen to those ears first.

Some like to listen to the warm while on decks, golf courses, or beaches. We have found that the acoustics are best gliding over a mirrored surface with a ski or two.

The warm could be heard under several feet of the crystal clear water of Lake Lucerne.

Last week's weather was a magnificent concert of hot. Hot. Not the warmishness of the past two years. Not the swimming without shivering too muchness of the past month. But the full on, take no prisoners, no escape hot that's the sound of a great Summer. Boats, skiers, swimmers, golfers, and others tangoed to the torridity all week. And it's forecast to continue. Huzzah!
