\nI hate sweat.<\/p>\n

It stains your clothes.<\/p>\n

It makes you look like you just got out of the shower.<\/p>\n

It makes you feel like you need a shower (another one).<\/p>\n

It weighs down your eyelashes.<\/p>\n

It makes you want to wipe down your face with a dew rag, and I hate dew rags.<\/p>\n

It tickles and distracts you when beads of perspiration form around your neck and zigzag down the entire length of your back then careen down into your crack.<\/p>\n

It smells.<\/p>\n

It gets into your ears or mouth.<\/p>\n

It makes you slippery. It makes you not want to hug people (and hugging is good).<\/p>\n

It makes you want to tie your hair back into a pony tail, and hell, even with a pony tail, you can still tell that you\u2019re sweating.<\/p>\n

It makes the waistband of your pants feel especially prickly.<\/p>\n

It becomes the focal point of your attention even when you have plenty of other things you could pay attention to.<\/p>\n

So, this afternoon, it was 90 degrees in the shade kind of hot. My toes were sticking to each other and sticking to the soles of my sandals. I was watching Black Joe and the Honeybears play to a crowd at the Sheffield Garden Walk. The back of my shirt had become a wet magnet. The crowd around me was probably, on average, 20-25 years younger and they didn\u2019t seem to be sweating. (Did I mention the fact that sweat is even more awful when the people around you aren\u2019t getting their share?) I was thinking about how much I hated sweat. Then the slightest of breezes wafted through the stagnant air, spreading out against my back, touching every centimeter of wetness, opening and cooling every over-heated pore.<\/p>\n

God, I love sweat!<\/p>\n

Having an automatic cooling system is no small thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
