Brutal heat...

Dear Nicky,

Hope it's nice and cool in Vermont because it's brutally hot down here. Yesterday I prepped the driveway for sealing and it took a long time. This morning I sealed it. I started late because I had to use the blower to get all this dust and stuff off and I didn't want to wake the whole neighborhood. Well, it's hard work sealing a driveway for the first time. Add to that the hottest day of the year so far, with a heat advisory no less, and it was murder. And just when I'm a bout ten square feet from completion, I run out of sealant. Also, by this time I'm having major heat cramps and am just exhausted. I get in the car to go to Home Depot, but as I'm driving things start turning black, so I came home took a cold shower, hung out, felt no better, and went to the Urgent Care up the street, where they rehydrated me and gave some potassium and sent me on my way. I think went to Home Depot and got another bucket of sealer, came home, rested for a bit, then finished what I needed to do. Afterward I took another shower and had a sandwich. I feel okay now, just tired. I hope the driveway turns out okay. Are you having fun? Being good? Too be good; Mom needs to learn patience.

Love,
Dad
