Again hot. This morning there was a light drizzle, but it did not do much. Wife has given me her old toughbook (yesterday she bought a Belkin wi-fi key), she has set up wi-fi at home, so that I am sitting under the wisteria, on a stone bench, I can smoke freely, consume MR (that's how Bob calls it) and just enjoy the summer, the Saturday with no chores. Cooking with this heat wave is very simple: cantaloupe at every meal, huge salads, for them cold cuts, for me fish or beans. Plenty of fruit. This is the time of bubbling wines in the ice bucket. Virtuous behavior. A gentle breeze is showing me the approval of the weather gods.

Ah, if just Ea's avatar would be here, I would put on my old Clark the Gable and romance ...
