There have been sporadic updates as of late. I will not apologize. But I will explain.

I live in an abode with no air conditioning. There has been a heat spell for the last week or so. There has been a large mass of humidity planted over where I live. The air is maddeningly still. 

I do not complain. I do less.

I do less cooking. I do less cleaning. I do less bicycling trips to used bookstores.

I spend my evening listless and quiet. I read my magazines (sadly there's nothing really worth mentioning for the maglog) comforted by distant voices on the radio. Sometimes I watch the Tour de France, still not able to comprehend the scale of their Herculaneum efforts. I drink many glasses of sweet lemon water filled with ice.

I do less blogging.

I am waiting for the rainstorms to wash this all away.
