Love it because my family loves the Summer and all the stuff we do, but hate it because I’m pretty uncomfortable in it and, prefer the Spring and Autumn seasons for their particular brands of energy.

Highest I remember knowing was 112°F.

Got a boat last year (22 ft pontoon). Somehow eating and drinking while afloat seems like a whole new experience. I’m not sure how/why, but it’s quite therapeutic.

An island I have yet to visit for the first time.

Spiced rum and Vanilla Coke Zero, all year 'round.
