And Now We Shall Do Manly Things (2012)
“It is hard to picture yourself on a cool fall morning dressed in warm clothes and intently following your hunting dog toward an unseen pheasant when the temperature is roughly that of the surface of the sun and the humidity is enough to turn your skin into a spigot of sweat. Summers in southwest Ohio are my least favorite time of year. It is awfully, almost unbearably hot, and the air is thick with moisture, pollution, and, to my great and constant chagrin, allergens. The summer weather in Clev...eland was very similar, but there we had relief in the form of Lake Erie. One could always take a dip, provided you were willing to swim amid cast-off syringes and municipal waste. But Greater Cincinnati offers no such recreational relief. I may be brave enough and even enjoy submersion in the lake, but swimming in the Ohio River is an act of pure madness. Rebecca and the kids spent their days at the community pool or the amusement park near where we lived while I perspired my way through twice-daily commutes and long hours trying to find a cool spot in the offices where I work to take advantage of purloined moments of Internet research on the topic of hunting and sportsmanship.MoreLess
