I don't even want to see my Con Ed bill this month

What is it, 1000 degrees out there again? Yowza, it is hot. I'm home from dinner and a movie ("Lady in the Water" - oy, don't waste your time or money) and just from walking from the theater on Third, I am totally drained.

So, of course, I immediately cranked up the a-c, which has basically been running 20 hours a day for two weeks now. My electric bill is going to be as bad as my Amex bill this month.

Anyway, it looks like the world is still around, so I'm going to jump in the shower, then pour a relaxing glass of brandy and recover from my grueling night with the mindless guilty pleasure awaiting on the tivo in the form of "Hell's Kitchen." But enough with this heat already. Thank you.
