Getting cooler. I'm tempted to lie in bed with the electric blanket on, Mama Cat next to me purring with pleasure. She loves the electric blanket, for her its like an enormous cat to snuggle up next to. Instead I got up and sat in front of the computer to work on my book. I'm in the process of reading through the 4,000+ footnotes, standardizing formatting issues. Tedious. Joey sits on one end of the desk as far as possible from her arch-nemisis Princess, who ignores her as she squats underneath a lamp, soaking up 60 watts of heat. All of us have thin blood, have grown used to the hot summers. When it cools off a little we panic and search for warmth to replace the sun, which rises a little later and sets a little sooner each day.

A quick hello to Patch and Eric and Mighty. And to Richard, who overcame adversity and sang at karaoke. That was brave.
