6.18 Day 13 * Winter In Summer, or; Why Didn't I Wear Tights?

Winter in Summer, or, Why Didn't I Wear Tights?
I am an admitted technodweeb. Having worked as a teacher-trainer for the ArtsConnectEd website when it was launched in 2000, I came back to help with the remake and relaunch of this fabulous website - a joint venture of the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center. We spent the day in one of the MIA's lavish boardrooms; our minds whirring with the wonder of where we could take our students with this fantastic tool.
I was distracted only by the cold. Yes, in June - the cold.
You know how cold it is in Minnesota's summer establishments? The cafes, museums, department stores, etc? If it were THAT cold in there in January, people would be complaining like crazy. But somehow, when it's above 60 degrees outside, there's free license for it to be quite cool indoors. I made it through the morning by sandwiching my sandaled feed between my purse and my computer bag; albeit my calves were frosty to the touch.
What a relief to get out into some warm air!
