Whoa! It's 88 here according to the WeatherUnderground, but it's under 40% humidity, so it's very comfortable. I picked a good day to start wearing my sandals.

ita, take care of yourself! I was just talking to another student at school today about you and krav maga and what you've told me about it. It made me want to start up karate again... which is about 20 years since, now.

Seska -- welcome!

88 here too. I just installed my first windowbox in this apartment (going to attempt to not kill cilantro, basil, and mint), and drinking a nice cold glass of homemade seltzer. Ahhhh, domesticity in the spring!

Lightning and thunder and monsoon-level rains, oh, my! It's really coming down out there right now. I'm glad I shut my window/door when I did, because the water is blowing under my three-foot overhang right onto the glass.

Oh dear ita. I'm glad things seem okay now, but take care of yourself.

We could use some of those monsoon rains here. Big fires in the everglades. Everything is so dry.

People, I am trying to procrastinate here. Are you all out having lives?

No.

My son is acting a fool. I moved furniture today and am tired and my room is a mess.

Hmm. It took you fifteen minutes to respond to that. I suspect you of having a life.

I was watching a video about the evolution of religious beliefs, but the video died partway through and now it won't play.

Obviously a sign from God.
