OK, this definitely sucks

We woke up this morning to discover that the air conditioning in our house was kaput, and we still haven't figured out what the worst part of this is:

-- It's around 90 degrees (30+ celsius) and quite humid, and expected to remain that way for the next several days;

-- The repairman we had out today basically said we need a whole new air conditioner, which will cost thousands of dollars;

-- We won't be able to get it fixed until at least Tuesday; and

-- My Dad arrives for a visit tomorrow from Southern California, where humidity is basically nonexistent.

I guess we need to summon up some of that American pioneer spirit and accept that generations of people lived without A/C so we'll probably survive for four days...
