It feels like it’s summertime now.  You can always tell because it’s freezing indoors (like, say, at my office) and hot outdoors and places where the air conditioning isn’t on (like, say, at my house).  It makes it difficult to dress in the morning, even in the post Mount St. Aprille days.  It’s hard to believe that I could actually, really, seriously need a sweater when I’ve already pitted out my shirt before I’ve finished packing our lunches.  And yet, here I am.

But that’s okay.  It’s worth it for summertime.  I really need to get out to the Coralville pool again some time this season.  Waterslides are fun, but I admit I also like the children’s area.  You can turn these steering wheels and different amounts of water get dumped on your head.  It’s really a lot of fun.

I’m going to Ames on Thursday night because I have a Friday meeting at Iowa State.  It’s funny that that’s never happened before; this is a group made up of reps from all the state schools in Iowa, and the location rotates.  I feel like I’ve been to two that were held here in Iowa City and one in Cedar Falls, but I’ve never gone to one in Ames.  It should work out pretty conveniently, since we’re going to go on Thursday and spend the night at my parents’ house.  Since there’s travel time built in, the meetings don’t start until 9:30, so I’ll even get to sleep in.  That’s also Fathers’ Day weekend, so it will be nice to spend that with the fam.  I think we’re going to see Denny’s parents too.
