Too hot? Well, it is 5:00 PM now and I just returned from playing 18 holes of golf--walking, not riding in a cart--at about 3:45. Maybe it is "too hot" for folks who let media control their lives. That ain't me. Plenty of water and taking my time--I could play all day. Maybe tomorrow I will.

I was with you all the way until the 'media control' part. I assure you that not one single news clip has ever made me sweat profusely, and my anectodal conclusion remains that this year is a helluva lot hotter and more humid than last year, without the relief of rain there seemed to be last year. And before someone confuses this issue with meteorological facts or fiction, I used the word 'anecdotal' for a reason. For all I know it will snow next summer-but for now-I am talking about the heat, not about the news reports I may or may not have seen about the heat.
And as for walking 18 holes? I play a lot of championship golf and will occasionally walk 9-but walking 18 in this humidity is inviting problems. Great for you if you can do that and not wobble afterward. If anyone ever goes on a desert safari, you should be the first person they call-but the rest of us older adults are best suited to driving the golf car on the course, or staying home.As the Bee Gees have indicated repeatedly, it's all about 'Stayin Alive'
