Wicked hot here in Providence. Summer finally arrived with a vengeance. We spent most of yesterday hiding in the middle parlor and the bedroom, the two cool rooms. Fortunately, you can proofread anywhere. Right now, it's 85˚F Outside and 81˚F in the cool part of the house. Here in my office, it's probably as warm as Outside. And...Spooky's about to ( Read more... )

You should definitely never come to Arizona. It's 101˚F and that's on the low side for this time of year.

No, thank you. Spent some time one summer in Phoenix. Been there, done that.

Yeah, I can't wait to get out of here. I want to live somewhere that has SEASONS, damnit!

Even though Lauren Bacall, one of my favorites, is a good choice for your narrator image. I pictured her much like she was in "To Have and Have Not" puffing on a cigarette between narration pauses.
The cigarette otherwise smoldering between her fingers.

May there be a break in the heat.

It is my intention that we'll finish the proofreading today. Then I can post the ToC. I think.

YES PLEASE :)

Patience, kitten.

Bless the Maker and His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.

Pretty much.

Heat? Don't talk to me about heat... jessamyg July 5 2011, 22:51:43 UTC

I can't really comprehend the heat you have. It's too hot for me and we're lucky to even hit 70 (it's 60 right now, coming close to midnight).

Definitely a good idea to go back and read Dune, but it will have to wait 'til I finish Ringworld for the goddessknows-how-manyth time.

I can't really comprehend the heat you have.

We're supposed to hit 92 tomorrow.
