I'm moving underground today. Outrageously hot and humid. Hopefully, it will be better by 6 when I have to go practice.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

In honor of Juliana's birthday, I just let a bunch of bikers looking for somewhere to park for the music fest down the street use our driveway. Then they bought lemonade from the kids next door, who have a stand set up, so it's a win-win all around.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Classic -- my mother just called and asked if I want them to pick me up, because it's so hot. I said that was ridiculous and bad for the earth, and I would be fine. She said, oh, she wasn't asking for me, she was asking for the pie I made! Hee.
