Yes, it's late--right around midnight. Yes, I'm still up. I just took a shower to wash all the sweat off me, but now my hair is wet, and I want it to dry off before hitting the hay. If I don't, it will be impossible to deal with in the morning. And I don't want to use the hair dryer, since it's rather warm up here.
One thing I'll probably never have to worry about is baldness. That's to judge by my dad and grandpa. Both had straight, thick, white hair when they were old. My dad and I were both the first child of their parents, so if heredity means anything ...
My hair is straight and thick and light brown. The mustache, though, is mostly white. Coming attractions, I guess. The eyebrows and hair at my temples are making the transition, but most of the rest hasn't started yet. Just like me: procrastination.
No visit to the lake tonight. We ended up staying home, watching a few DVDs--nothing too long or intense. We went outside for a while to enjoy a breeze, then back inside to have a midnight snack (muskmelon, also known as cantaloupe). Then my wife went up to her air-conditioned bedroom (where I'll be heading soon), and I watched the end of the Pistons-Spurs game. Pistons just got outplayed in the fourth quarter.
Some storms were moving through northern Minnesota earlier tonight, but it looks like they're fizzling out. Regardless, with all the humidity in the air now, we're primed for some storms.
But I know we won't see rain overnight. Guaranteed. Why am I so certain? Because I closed the windows of the car late tonight. Nothing else in life, it seems, is more reliable than the relationship between closed car windows and lack of rain. Hardly ever fails. Now I'd like to see a scientific explanation of that!
Ah, to heck with waiting. I'm getting out the hair dryer and then am heading for bed.
