people ask me all the time how i feel these days, and especially how i’m doing in this horrible heat. i feel like a broken record because i just keep saying Great!

sometimes i wonder whether i’m just in denial somehow, or that it’s just mind over matter because yes my breathing is labored, and it’s really hard to stand up from a deep couch, and my swollen feet and ankles do bother me, but these all seem like minor irritations when overall, i just feel really robust. I feel healthy and alive.

the heat? well, i certainly don’t like it when the air is heavy. but it doesn’t feel particularly different from other hot and humid summers. and the fact that i can still walk to work and don’t have to descend into the hotter-than-hell bowels of the subway system have really been a huge plus.

i don’t know. maybe i’m on a happy hormones uptick again.

we’ll see if i crash!
