Cool, dry air pushed into Missouri over the past 48 hours, courtesy of a Canadian cold front. Displacing the hot, muggy air that enveloped us for most of the week, it was a refreshing and invigorating change. Yard work was a pleasure and the desire for exercise returned. One could almost imagine that the leaves were beginning to turn or that the rumble in the distance came from the University's marching band. Even the scent of neighborhood cookouts suggested pregame tailgates.
Then I remembered: we still have to get through July and August! An escape to Colorado and a planned trip to Newfoundland should ease the burden. Life can be tough.
