Forecast says it’s going to be 113° this weekend.

We had discussed going to the Minnesota State Fair. Too hot for that crowd.

Or maybe we’d visit family on a lake in the woods. Too far to drive.

So right now, we’re looking at an empty, long weekend before the school year starts.

Here’s the sequel.

So, because “income,” I spent Friday working.

Which means the tent didn’t come down.

Which gave my son Sam a reason to bug me to sleep a second night in the tent.
