The Dog Days are Here

(The extended forcast looks no better.)
In related news, my relatives have convinced me to visit the North. One week from today (give or take), I shall be on my way to Liverpool, NY for several days of family fun, including a side trip to Utica (for a rendezvous with the Schenectady contingent).
I should probably start making a shopping list because a trip to central New York is never complete without a stop at Wegmans.
