Long Weekend

Spend most of long weekend (school now closed all Fridays for the summer, plus monday and tuesday off for the 4th of July) indoors except for Saturday trip to Brighton Beach which results in wicked sunburn on back (Note: pay no attention if the Contessa ever again tries to say that All you Need is another coat of sunscreen in reply to question, Am I burning? Second Note: Do not blame others for own reckless beach behavior. Separate note: Do not, under any circumstances, have so-called cappucchino from Russian restaurant on boardwalk.) Rest of weekend too hot to spend outdoors--Dave and I watch mind-numbing amount of television and movies. Jenny seems to approve of our sloth--becomes very upset when we try to take her for walks. On Monday, feel that ought to move legs so that don't lose use of same. Take Jenny downstairs. We are less than 12 feet out of door when she begins to dry heave. Can well understand her position--humidity causes same reaction in me. Nevertheless, do wish we could have made it a bit further from building. Jenny lets loose veritable flood of urine as busybody from 8th floor attempts to leave building. She gasps and hisses to her companion, That is exactly what I was talking about. Worry about what she means for the rest of the weekend.
