August is the Crappiest Month
August 5, 2008 - First of all, let me rush to apologize to T. S. Eliot's spirit for the blatant paraphrasing of The Wasteland, but I have certainly been realizing why I hate late summer so much. On the one hand, the weather in Baltimore during this month is hideous: hot, humid, and hazy - blech! Being someone who sweats rather than perspires, I would much rather be cold than hot any day of the week. However, the other reason I hate it is that it often is the month during which many things for the upcoming season have to be finalized and also the month in which most artists, designers, crew, etc. are the most unreachable due to the all too understandable desire to flee to more habitable climates. Oh well, I guess "to every season, turn, turn, turn". . .Okay better go before I get myself sued for any more plagiarism. Next post, all original material. I promise.

Thanks for the reminder about Baltimore in August (with an interesting Russian chamber music recital coming up at An die Musik). I'll never forget a Washington Post description of August in DC, which I read almost 25 years ago: "Walking out of an air-conditioned building in DC in August [or late summer] feels like you're walking into the breath of a giant dog."
