I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

The forecast here called for a 100% chance of rain today and tomorrow. It rained quite a bit earlier, but has now cleared. This is good. If we get too much all at once we'll just have run-off and flooding, which doesn't help.

I've done eight pages so far, so will now take a break for a couple of hours, then try to do eight more.  I've started the new chapter.  Without elaborating, I will say that just about every chapter in the book takes place at a different restaurant and, as you might imagine, I'm having a lot of fun with that.

I spent much of the day working on taxes. I made more progress than I expected, so I'm pleased. I'd planned to do this today, and today's rain kept me from distractions.

Yes, our huge storm watch storm lasted about five hours - it was coming down pretty good for a while.  The streets were all flooded even though every time they rip the damn streets up they assure us that they were doing it to fix that very problem, which they never fix.  Then the sun comes out and like magic all those flooded streets are suddenly not flooded.  It's supposed to continue raining but I'll believe it when I see it.

Do you plan to include the one we ate at last week? The elderly vs the hipsters?

I have done a bit of furniture rearranging, moving a chaise longue from my bedroom to the room with the TV. I'm hoping to make the watching of a movie a bit more comfortable.

But moving anything means dusting. Ugh.

Finished Clouds of Sils Maria. Very European and also very enjoyable. Theater folks should really like it, even if a plot twist that I won't give away will irritate some.
