it's too darn hot

my college-aged daughter is on my case to start writing my blog. but it's too hot. i don't hate many things and i'm pretty sure i don't hate any people, but i do hate hot weather.
the new york times magazine had an interesting article this week (ok, it always has interesting articles) about wisdom and how hard it is to measure. wisdom is one of those things that we can recognize in others, but find hard to define. and if it can't be defined and measured then how can it be studied? and if it can't be studied, can it exist?
and, yet, wisdom is what i seek.
i find glimmers of it all the time. synthesizing in a way that is useful is my challenge.
