This summer has been hot. 
Not just hot but H—O—T!  I don’t
know about where you live, but here in the windy city of Chicago the temperatures last week were in
triple digits for several days straight. 
Every news report talked about the new record high temperatures that
were being set.

Um….I’m not a huge fan of hot weather.  Anything over 90 and I’m pretty sad.  Add humidity to the mix and YOWZAH!  Needless today, this has not been my favorite
summer thus far.  And while the
temperature are only in the upper 80s now, it is still to toasty outside to
enjoy many summer activities that don’t involve water.  Yep—I’m a wimp.  Sue me!

The good news is I’m betting I’m not the only wimp in the
bunch.  In fact, I bet lots of you have
great suggestions as to how to have fun without wilting in the heat.  So—I’m asking for suggestions.  Lots of them. 
How do you stay cool in this weather without feeling like you’re
spending the entire summer trapped in the air conditioning?  Since there doesn’t seem to be any sign
of  70 degree weather ahead, I need all
the suggestions I can get!

  

Oh – and just in case you didn’t hear – MURDER FOR CHOIR hit shelves last week.  It is the first of my Glee Club Mystery series featuring professional singer Paige Marshall and the Music in Motion show choir.  I’m hoping that readers enjoy spending time with Paige and the gang.  I know I do!
