Mostly sunny today and hot. Our high was 91F.

But not much to say about this hot day. I had a rough night, and the day was buried under grogginess, aches, and memories. Mostly, I read.

The afternoon's movie was Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014).

I was up at 6 a.m., after less than five hours sleep. Beginning at 6:30, I wrote the last four story notes for Bradbury Weather: "Cherry Street Tango, Sweatbox Waltz," "A Chance of Frogs on Wednesday," M is for Mars, and "Bradbury Weather." So, that's done ( Read more... )

A very good day, and a remarkable day, that I actually cannot got into any real detail about. The weather, well, it was blah. We did get some sun, but also some thunder and lightning, and the high was only 76˚F. Providence is having highs in the 90˚F, and down here it feels like April ( Read more... )
