It also means fewer and fewer ice cream establishments will be open for our festive gatherings. Take heart, though, for I have made arrangements for this weekend’s temperatures in the mid 70’s.

There wasn’t gonna be a ham social gathering on September 22, because I will be helping out in a license exam session in Schenectady that day.
