It is practically impossible for a conversation to begin this week in Chicago without mention of the weather. We've blown past "hot," cruised by "melting" and are now sitting squarely in the "surface of the sun" category of weather.
Weather can have a tremendous impact on our moods. Humid weather makes us sleepier. Hot weather makes us angrier. (Mike Ivers, of Good City, once told me his plan for reducing violence on the streets during the summer was to give everyone air conditioning and a video game unit. That just might do the trick.)
All this to say, it's a good week to avoid talking about tough topics, and to just curl up for a nap with your partner instead.
