I've narrowed the list to three. Anesthesia, the TV clicker and air conditioning. I'm not so young that I don't remember the world without air conditioning. I remember well how my family got its first window-unit air conditioner when I was 16. Fifteen years I spent sleeping in a pool of sweat.
Some people are nostalgic for the good old days.
I want my room so cold in the summer that I can hang veal in my closet. So, when my air conditioning went out, I did not have a good night. I awakened several times feeling like I had been dipped in a marinade. I thought maybe I'd been sleeping with Darva Conger. Consequently, in the morning, I wasn't full of high spirits.
