It's Hot Where I Live

So a hiking update. It's been crazy hot and I admit I have missed a couple of weekends but Sunday I was determined to do something so Sister Meg and I hiked on part of the Nashville greenways system. An easy two and a half flat miles but ohmigod it was so crazy hot I thought I was going to kill myself and all the people around me. My friend Carol says when marathoners are thirsty they lick the roofs of their mouths. Well I tried it and it did most definitely not give me the pause that refreshes. Anyway, we hiked up to the fancy new pedestrian bridge over the Cumberland river that connects the middle of nowhere to the area slightly to the east of the middle of nowhere. It's a nice multi-million dollar bridge and here is a picture of Sister Meg standing on it. Wearing the world's nuttiest hiking costume. That is not a skirt; they're like plaza pants shortened to gaucho length.

That bridge is a really big hill, by the way...

Please do not repeat this to Ister-Say Eg-May, but she is SO beautiful. I don't know why I pictured an Amy Sedaris character, but Ister-Say Eg-May looks like a…words fail me.

I know. She's Marilyn in "The Munsters"!

(I can't see behind the glasses, but the dimples are rather Scarlet J'esque, and I hope that doesn't make her unbearable to live with.)

Great family, DG. GREAT.

Sometimes people say she looks like Greta Scacchi or however the hell you spell it. And yeah, she doesn't like to be talked about so ssssshhhhhhh.
