It’s been over 100 degrees for nearly two weeks. It’s been all but impossible to run a decent program…quite frankly, I’m grateful for the two day holiday. We are going to have to stay in today…it’s going to be 106 degrees. But next week we have a full week. School today and on Monday. Tuesday we will swim at Newburgh Pool, and Wednesday we will go to the Louisville Science Museum. Thursday will be a rest day, and then on Friday, we will finish the week up with swimming.

I’m hoping the rest of the summer is not as hot. It’s really oppressive, and to have to cancel the smallest of summer trips is a shame. But taking children into the heat for hours is just not safe. A small child can not maintain his body temperature safely in this heat, nor can many of them think to ask for a drink…the cognition is simply not there.

I’m trying to take a couple of days off to go to Chicago to visit my daughter. I’m leaving at 5:45 Saturday morning by train.  If any questions arise, please ask Mr. Terry.  I will be gone Monday and Tuesday.

Hoping for a better week next week.
