Summer Top Ten: It is HOT!

Because it is 122 degrees outside and we're sick of the pool, Finny and I have made a list of possible summertime activities for when you're living on the surface of the sun. We're trying to convince my dad to at least take us up to the cabin for a week or two, or to Europe or something, but so far this summer, he's been at his office 24 hours a day doing some big merger, so we're just ROASTING.

Top Ten Things You Can Do When It's 122 Outside

1. Fry eggs. We are about to set up a fried egg and lemonade stand outside my house. Come over! The only thing that's gross about this is that you have to fry them on the sidewalk, and then who would want to eat them?

2. Swim/ lay out. This is ALL we've been doing all summer. We are crispy fried.

3. Shop. Mostly online, but NOT on El Paseo, because you have to walk from store to store, and seriously, you could die. Mall only.

4. Do the summer homework for Honors English. UUGGGHHHHH! Isn't it against the LAW for teachers to give you a reading list for summer? Finny is doing 36 pages a day of David Copperfield. I am putting it off, so obviously I am going to have to read everything in one weekend.

5. Get heatstroke from trying to walk to your friend's house. Check!

6. Ice blocking at Ironwood Country Club, on the green behind F.'s house. The gate code is 229.

7. Bass fishing, also at Ironwood...they filled the lake back up!

Note: ONLY do # 6 and #7 at night. The security guards are totally out during the day, and they WILL call your parents.

8. Generator parties by the tree up 74. T's brother just got a Jeep for his birthday, and he has generously offered to drive us all up there Friday night. Bring big flashlights!

9. Go to the movies, then stay there all day. We've seen EVERYTHING. We are SO BORED.

By the way, hi Caitlin! Hope you're having fun in freaking HAWAII! Lucky!
