That’s one hot moon
I don’t know why I find this so amusing. Perhaps the heat’s got me.
According to Boston.com, it’s 96◦ Fahrenheit in Boston right now, and apparently the sun has disappeared from the sky and been replaced by the moon as in some kind of apocalyptic Biblical plague à la Moses in Egypt.
Is it Judgment Day? Already?
Anyway, a hot moon makes me think of this past Saturday, which Joe and I spent frolicking naked with some friends on Moshup beach in Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard. There were a couple of hot moons hanging out near us.

Hot moons remind me of Tom Robbins' "Still Life with Woodpeckers." It's all about how redheads are children of the moon and blondes are children of the sun (although I don't know where this leaves brunettes).
Supposedly redheads and blondes were embroiled in an epic war in which the blondes came out victorious because the redheads were too crazy and poetic!
I saw that you like MIDDLESEX. I actually purchased a used copy for five bucks at a small shop in Manchester-by-the-sea, but have yet to read it. Right now, I'm engaged with "What's the Matter with Kansas?" ... utterly wonderful.
i know exactly the store you're talking about... manchester by the book, no?
i like the stock exchange, which is around the corner from the bookstore. last summer, i picked up an ottoman hamam bowl there (the brass bowl you brought to the baths to pour water over yourself) for $10.
i hope you like middlesex. i loved it.
thanks for stopping by :) hope you'll come again.
