There's always hope. This banker feller from Maine I met once told me, "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." The trick is figuring out how to get there.

It is. It could be worse, Costa could be sitting in a pool of blood and tears.

When it's really hot I sometimes take a quick sponge bath, a moist wash cloth, wipe yourself down, you'll cool off nicely.

I prefer a cold shower or cold bath myself.

But fortunately, it's pretty temperate here. Room temperature is at 20°C, but outside, it's -6°C, with a wind chill of -12°C.

Ironically that's happened to me a couple of times. But the wind's shifted to the north now so it's at least cooler.
