It's hot enough today, to make me long for autumn. I'd give anything to get out of this city. Our office is doing a lake cruise, up to Lake George, next Thursday, but I opted not to go--one, there was a matter of a ten dollar deposit--refundable, but I just didn't have it to spare, that' outta' my food budget--to spend the night with a mess of drunken co-workers on a hot crowded boat, drifting lazily down a lake and back--no, I'll pass thanks--plus, I'd have to shell out a dollar and a half, to take the trolley bus, plus, I'm working 9 to 5 that night, so I'd have to walk home, shower, change and catch the trolley right off--no dinner until 8pm! And, it takes the trolley, traditonally, as much as an hour to an hour and a half, to go the five or seven miles to the lake, from here in the city..no, don't think so.
Ever been to an office party in America? Dull is not the word--okay, yes, it is. And drunken co-workers are only fun to other drunken co-workers.
So, as desperite as I am for something to DO, I'm not that desperate. I do dislike living in the city--NOTHING to do, ever! At least in Lake George, Lake Luzerne and Corinth there were free concerts in summer, public beaches within walking distance, and all sorts of events--here. Glens Falls is BLEH...not just in winter, but in spring, summer and fall! This has got to be the dullest city on the planet! Unless you're a rich yuppie, or a drunken chav, there's nothing to do!
Here's a pic of Lake Luzerne I took 3 or 4 years ago. This is from the main beach, which was just under a mile from where I lived. It's a guy on a raft...I liked the pic, with his little flag pole and his chairs and stuff--he had it made for hanging out on the lake. It was a nice balmy autumn day, that day, as I recall.

Very nice image. A close up of the boat might have been revealing ! Better rethink and go on the cruise [ maybe a colleague will help by giving you a lift ]. To he-- with it and let your hair down ! davidj
