Hot fun in the summertime

Summer has arrived, and with it the attendant warm/hot weather, the insane increase in daylight hours, and the sharp spike in my irritability level. Yes, it has begun. I�m doing my very best to keep it out of here - and failing in a most spectacular manner, by and large, but I am trying. Crankiness can be entertaining, in the right hands, but A) I can�t tell if mine are the right hands (although I can tell you that I�ve washed them recently, so there�s that), and B) a steady diet of bad temper, even from the best of sources, can be very wearing. So, my promise to you is that I will do my utmost to curb my boundless summertime tetchiness, just as I will try to resist the urge to grab the next person who tells me �how lovely the weather is� by the throat, stuff them full of gumballs, string them up by the heels from the nearest tree like a motherfucking pi�ata, and beat them with a stick.

Oops.

On the other hand, the new stove is in at Science Manor and it is a thing of beauty indeed. Granted it is an electric stove, but as much as I would prefer gas it�s just not practical to switch at this point. That aside, I will have six burners to play with: four standard, two grill. I can�t wait to give it a test drive.
