We are now well into the oppressive heat of the summer and I see several more weeks of being miserable. Gardens are being cultivated. People are taking fun vacations. Children are playing outside. And, I hate it all. That’s right I said it. I’m a winter person. Give me the snow and cold temperatures. Give me the holidays. Winter is a time I can bundle up without being accused of laziness. I am a fluffy individual therefore I am better built for winter. In the winter I can easily regulate my warmth. In the summer there are only so many layers of clothes I can take off, before people start screaming and someone calls the cops. It’s a whole thing.
So, until the weather cools back down I’m going to hibernate and avoid all the summer activities. When my wife is not looking, I’m going to crank up the air conditioner, bundle up and take a nap. I’ll dream of overcast skies and snowstorms.
Here is a list of reasons why I hate summer. Maybe you will sympathize.

I also put in that days local and national newspapers. This was a tradition I carried on every year adding these items. As time went on I also added things from...
Every Geek has their niche, their one true expertise. Sure a Geek has lots of different interests, but they have their one true love in all of Geekdom. Mine happens to be Anime. I started watching anime before anyone knew it was Anime. When I was a kid there were two amazing shows on television every day after school. The first one was Starblazers. Some of you may know it as Space Battleship Yamato. This was a story about humans racing across the galaxy to find a cure to heal the dying Earth,...
