"It's gettin' hot in here so take off all your clothes."

It's been hot in New York City. Like super fucking hot. Can't think or function or write blog entries hot. 97 degrees Fahrenheit hot. So you'll forgive me for keeping a low profile over the last week.

Since I'm one of the lucky few who has access to a car in New York City, Ms. K and I drove down to Jacob Riis Beach in Queens on Sunday and Monday to forget about the heat and forget about life. Neither of us can afford a proper vacation right now so Queens is going to have to be the next best thing. Actually considering that it's Queens, Riis Beach is kind of nice. And when I closed my eyes, I convinced myself that I was really laying out on a beach in the Bahamas.
