Great Day to Play Hooky

I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach while driving into work today.

You know that feeling I am talking about – the fluttering of the stomach, the strong desire to slam on the brakes, whip across four lanes of traffic to the next exit and head on home.

I am thinking the desire to be anywhere but here might be because the sun is shining with temperatures expected to climb to about 18 C (64 F). It might also because a long weekend is coming up with sunshine and a record-breaking 25 C (77).

It might simply be because I can’t take a day off. It’s deadline day. And I have five days that have to last the entire year.

Sigh.

It’s a great day to play hooky.

But here I am.

It’s 18 C Today (AKA 64 F)

It’s going to be a warm one today.

The local meteorologist is saying the temperature is going to reach 18 C today, which is about 64 F for our American friends.

Apparently 18 degrees is close to breaking a record set in 1966, when the mercury reached 18.9.

Record breaking or not, it’s going to 18 degrees with sunshine.

Bring it on.
