Just Like That; Cape Cod
Dear Gentle Readers, the temperature is starting to go up here in New England, finally! That means that there’s going to be a hot time in the old New England town tonight. Somewhere in New England there is band or singer-songwriter doing their thing during this month of high school graduations. While the weather is warm enough for shorts and tshirts but not as sweltering as July, get out there and enjoy the warm breezes and the cool music.
