Day 19: Negotiation We were supposed to run/jog today, but the daughter pleaded to rollerblade instead. Being the kind-hearted dad, and not wanting to faint away in the early morning 80+ degree (already!), I caved. Exercise is exercise, and it was good to get those muscles that blading had stretched the day before back into use, before my legs ceased up. It was another 90+ day, so we managed to stay inside (AC on 78 during the day) until dinner time. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the cicada craze (brood XIII). But out in our neck of the ex-urbs, they are pretty hard to find. We headed out to Bull Valley, where some had been sighted, but no luck! So we drove around with the windows down, the summer mix CD blaring out the windows and headed for the ice cream shoppe! I love summer!!

Total time outside: 2 hours
