summer arrives

Labor Day was yesterday and New York has become the summer I hate. 

June, July and August were beautiful.  It was never too hot or too muggy, even in the city.  But it’s as if the gods of summer said, “Hey, we forgot to come out.  Well, it’s not too late.” So here they are, covering the city in a blanket of heavy, muggy air, as the temperature climbs above 90.

I have a meeting near Tribeca with three others from BAFTA and the Producers Guild of America.  The short walk from the subway to the building where the meeting is leaves me sweating and my cotton dress wrinkled.

Five minutes outside and any care that went into makeup and hair collapses under the humidity.

I try and think cold thoughts, imagining the view from my window this past winter.



It doesn’t help.
