At this point, the checklists are increasing in both length and breadth. My amazon cart seems to have a new addition each day. The preparation for this venture has a unique feel to it. Of course my focus at work diminishes as I approach the magical day of July 28th; and the more I write down, the more I sense that I am forgetting something. Perhaps this is how authors feel about the novels they create. Every time you take one step, you see that there is farther to go until you reach your destination.

On a separate note, let me speak a little about Vermont and the lack of air conditioning. The locals tell me that people move to the Northeast to get away from the heat. This explains the manner in which houses are built, and the lack of central air. It is safe to say that most of the world does not have the AC that I grew to love in hot, humid Atlanta. However, these distant lands adjust their houses and lives in an effort to survive the unbearable heat that plagues the summer months (i.e. in Greece they do not place their windows facing east or west).

This past week has seen temperatures in the mid 90s each day. With high humidity. Perhaps the preparation anxiety I am having is in reality a form of heat exhaustion.
