A dehumidifer will not suffice

I had a busy weekend.

1. Maggie's parents came to visit. We got up early on Saturday and got on the Whale Watch trip. You ride a big catamaran for an hour into Mass Bay, see whales for an hour, then high-tail it back to Long Wharf. You could count all the native Bostonians on the boat and still have a finger or two to spare.
   
   I'd been on a couple ferries before, but I don't think I'd been on a catamaran before. This is a boat with two parallel keels, so it soars fast over the water (we were getting 42 MPH according to a Coast Guard Reservist with a GPS in his hand) and leaves this wake that looks like a Midori milkshake.
   
   When we left the Wharf, it was 85 degrees and the sun beat down us like police truncheons. As we booked into the Atlantic, the temperature dropped and the coolness suited me. Maggie was wearing her hoodie and hiding behind me for shelter.
   
   Then I ate a hot dog. ( Wanna know why this wasn't so smart? )
