Normally in Dallas at the end of May, we are enjoying waterparks, poolside cocktails and our all-time favorite summer pastime — complaining about the heat. Not so this year. The rain has, if you’ll pardon the expression, put a damper on everything for the past five weeks. Every rain cloud has a silver lining, though. The cool, dreary weather means that you have a few more weeks to get your body ready for summer.
