it’s hot out. the tomatoes in my backyard are withering on the vines, and apparently, they’re not alone. my hair is frizzing beyond belief. even local cheese cutters are suffering. hey, we all like summer, but this one’s just a little out of control. thanks a lot, global warming!

we’re doing our part here to pretend we’re somewhere cool. a friend of mine from high school, who has been making a career as a children’s entertainer, has one particular song that my kids really, really love. i know musically that this guy and i were listening to a lot of the same stuff when we were younger, and it’s nice to see it surfacing in his work 🙂

and yes, i admit; i like the ’80s riff of it, too. and it makes us pine for the B E A C H – BEACH!

(although the very excellent guitar-playing dad to yosi’s left is creeping me out, ever so slightly 😉
