Summer – Why I Still Like It

There's been a lot of complaining about the heat this week prompting questions of "What do you hate more, NY summers or NY winters?

I rarely, if ever, get sick in the summer.
Swimming in the ocean is theraputic.
Outdoor showers - the best.

Going out in the city on summer nights is always fun.
Air-conditioning makes sleeping possible.
