Heating Up

Well, folks, it seems as if summer, or at least a nice warm spring, is finally here in Santa Fe. The trees are green, blooms are out, and cottonwood fluff is divebombing my black work slacks. Even with some hefty winds, it's warm out during the day, and the sidewalks are full of shorts-clad visitors.

To celebrate the beginning of summer, I'd like to introduce you to a new blog: Hot Guys Reading Books. The title is pretty self-explanatory, and so far all the photos seem safe for work. The neat thing is that as much as possible we get to find out what these hot guys are reading! So think of it as a way to get interesting reading recommendations regardless of subjective notions of physical attractiveness.

I'd also like to encourage you to submit photos of local guys reading. Imagine what it could do for our fair city if it's known for handsome literate men unafraid to read in public! At the very least, it might shorten next winter by a week or so.

You can submit directly to the blog site, or send an email submission to hotguysreadingbooks@gmail.com.

And now, for some ice cream...
