. . . vintage is cool . . .

. . . but not in the case 

of this sweet general electric 

air conditioner . . .

. . . the one that cools the upstairs . . .

{or used to}

. . . practically an antique . . .

. . . it's equipment that is original 

to this house . . .

{the other two have long since bitten the dust}

. . . making it more than 

twenty-eight years old . . .

. . . may we please 

have moment of silence . . .

. . . before it is replaced tomorrow 

by a newer, sleeker model . . .

. . . just in time 

for drew and jessalyn's visit 

next week . . .

. . . the heat wasn't working 

when they were home 

for christmas break . . .

. . . that was manageable . . .

. . . no air conditioning in june 

is a different story all together . . .
