It has, indeed, been a fruitfly weekend. No, I didn't mean fruitful - fruitfly is what I meant. By Saturday, the record warmth had the bananas browning, the peaches drawing fruitflies and the red wine turning to vinegar. Broke a record yesterday when Philadelphia topped out at 94 degrees.
I just drove back from Princeton and the car registered 97 outside - this, of course, is unofficial, and taken on I-95, which may even make it suspect. I saw a wonderful French movie called "Dinner of Idiots," at least that is its English translation. The literal French title is "Dinner of Assholes."
This movie is available with English subtitles and I highly recommend it. The plot involves a group of Parisian intellectuals who meet for dinner each week. One of the members is required to bring an idiot to the meal and the others are meant to enjoy the idiot but not let him know that they think he's an "asshole." Sounds cruel when the plot is summarized but, in fact it is hilarious and will bring out the Sophomore in you. I highly recommend it.
Other ways to bring out your sleeping Sophomore may include listening to the latest commentary of Dick Cheney, reading anything written lately by Rick Santorum, or tuning into Fox News if you can stand it. Whoopie cushions are also available if those methods don't work for you.
