The most depressing event of my vacation...

I meant to post this a while ago, but I didn't have a chance to scan a certain picture.

While in upstate NY, cleaning out some of the country house, I took The Boy to the community pool to just show him a bit of my childhood... I knew it wouldn't be open -- it's a fresh stream water pool, and it's SO cold, that they only open it from the 4th of July onwards.

But... when I arrived, it was gone. At that moment, I realized how OKAY it was to sell the house... it's not the place I remember, my memories are officially bulldozed...

you take the good, you take the bad....

I'm full of sighs today.


It was a pain, but it got done -- my mom's buick is hereby donated.

It took forever for the tow truck guy to get there, but it's all good, he was a nice guy. I was just HOT, it was humid and sticky and I was loitering around a subway grate. The breeze was nice though.

I went to clean out the car, and it was odd... I found over 10 umbrellas, broken and not, strewn in the backseat and the trunk. My dad always /planned/ on fixing these I'm sure. ha. Some were really old, and nostalgic. I packed all the worthy ones. I took 2 bottles of washer fluid, a anti theft device for your steering wheel (although I couldn't find the Club, that goes with it...) I took 2-3 ice scrapers, a foldable steel shovel, a bunch of maps and paperwork, some metal tins, some rope, a first aid kit, and a nice garment hanger...

Lugging that home was amusing. I luckily got a cab... but this cab had Mario Andretti's arabian cousin at the wheel. I swear we almost hit 3 cars as he swerved in and out. I have to say though, that it was my first psycho cab ride... even though I always hear about nightmare tourist experiences.

Anyway.... here's where it turns all sour.

I get home, and turn on the AC... less than 5min later... the AC unit dies on me... sputters to a pitiful death.

So now, I wait to hear back from the super, so we can get a new unit installed. The catch: the AC unit is over 8 feet up on the wall. We'll see how this is resolved.

Until then, I'll just sit and schvitz with the lights off.
