Last night was a short night - I watched the Tour de France until about 11:00 pm and awoke at 3:30 AM. It does seem a little strange to be escaping the oppressive heat by traveling to the tropics in July, but there are stranger things in this world. I have spent the last week building a 12' x 20' shed in my backyard with the consistent help of my 88-year old father and a few hours of assistance from my dear friend Julian Fleron. The first four hours nailing facia boards and shingles on my new shed were not too bad, but the second four hours were brutal.
