A/Curdity

Defn.: hefting a pair of lead-heavy window air conditioning units through thirty-degree
temps and snow squalls into a house equipped with central air.  Slick sidewalks! A/Curdity. That’s my new word for today. No, we don’t have a pressing need for the air conditioners, but nobody’s seeking
window AC-units in Syracuse in mid-November. Plus, they’re good social
insurance–guarantees that I’ll have a way to make new friends in June when it’s
back to 90-degrees F and 80-percent humidity. So I’m trying to focus on
airconditional friendship while shuttling those units and other stuff this AM.
