Did some proofing and frankly I'm ready to just give up with this proofing. From eight to now, ten, I did four pages. That is just NUTS. We'll see how far I get today.

I have not grown tired of watching the planes take off and land, but then our windows insulate most of the sound.  We can hear the military jets but that is it.

They're looking for a new location - where they are now is just for delivery and takeout - but the issues began at the restaurant - my last three visits there were all disappointing for every single dish.

That's a shame.  I guess you need to take a break from there and try them again once they have settled into their new location.

BK, I'm sorry to hear about Genghis Cohen. I remember a wonderful dinner there after we opened The Brain from Planet X.

It is sad when favorite places go downhill. We have invested so much time and love on them.

Or when they close.

I hadn't realized that a regular letter through the post office went up to 78 cents not that long ago. 

Those rolls of "Forever" stamps are looking like they were a good buy.

Compressing 900 pages into an 86-minute film, with way too much exposition, might not work as well as the director thought.

It was only supposed to get up to 90 today. It’s 95 and could be climbing.

I had to look that up.  It sounds like a good summer pie.

Groan.  Our expected high is 93, however, it is currently only 87.

Our walk, mostly in the shade, was comfortable even without a breeze.
