Poor Alex! He has this week off. The one job that really, really needs to get done is staining the deck. We have put it off too long and it has to be done this summer. Until this week, the weather had been fairly pleasant. Not this week. It is so hot and humid. Today, it got up to 100 degrees. He has been working mostly in the mornings but even so, he is dripping sweat within half an hour or so. He is determined to get the job done, so Mary Kate and I have made a point to bring him ice water every hour and to convince him to quit by noon. Today, he worked a little later and he has had me running for more stain a couple of times. What a trooper! Not the way that a guy really wants to spend his vacation!
