If you're hating the heat and malaise of summer, check out the Salon.com article "Why I Hate Summer." An excerpt:

The constant burden of forced merriment -- the sense that you should be out somewhere, anywhere, taking advantage of it all, like Gidget or the Kennedys, weighs heavily on me. Like New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day and Halloween, the pressure to do something significant, meaningful and -- most of all -- fun paralyzes me with anxiety.

We're on vacation this week road trippin' (World's Largest Garden Gnome, here we come!) so we can't really relate. But for those of you who are sulking out of range of roadside attractions, enjoy the article!
