Tuesday night I sat in a bar with Bill in a booth removed from the main action of the evening. There was some interesting sexual power plays going on between some friends and acquaintances. There was a moment where the tension got kicked up more than a few notches. The type of situation where your body gets really hot and you have a thin layer of sweat that just jumps off of your skin. It can be scary/exciting when it is you. Like when you get caught in a lie, or kiss comes from nowhere, or when Grossman drops back to pass. It is an entirely different feeling when you aren't involved any more than a spectator and it hits you.
Bill and I both said the same thing when this person walked in the door, "I just got really hot!"
About a half hour later a disaster was averted when there was a near miss of awkwardness by timing of arrivals done to the second. It was like watching a movie.
It made me think about how much a second or two puts us in some many different situations in our lives. It is exciting to me to say the least.

You sure it wasn't just the air conditioning malfunctioning?
Or you could be going through the menopause, i hear you get hot flushes with that.
I guess being omniscient is hot work, huh? Luckily you had beer.
