We spent the 4th down the street at our coach’s house: Joan has a house facing an overlook of the downtown, and they let off a big display down in the heart of town, in Riverfront Park: thousands gather down there, on the bridges, and this year on a friendly parking garage rooftop; but those of us up on this ridge all hike to this hill…must’ve been 500 or more out there, last night. Joan and Buzz served us a lovely supper. Then we sipped wine and watched fireworks from the front porch…then walked a couple of blocks home to spot the NYC display on telly. Can’t complain.<\/p>\n
It’s supposed to turn for the 90’s this weekend: the door to the desert has opened and finally pushed the Pacific air aside. So we’re going to do a little yard work today before the heat hits.<\/p>\n
One strange recommendation for anybody who’s in the market for new sheets and wants something cool: the SleepNumber Bed store (or website) has some sheets and mattress-covers that are made out of a spaceage fabric that disperses heat. Dunno how they do it, but even a pillowcase keeps your pillow cool, and a full set of it is real nice. I’ve got the pillowcases and a mattress cover. I think my next sheet replacement is going to be their sheets. Even in the winter, I could like that.<\/p>\n
The littlest fishes have discovered the whole pond is safe, now. They’re coming out to join the others at feeding time, and they’re so darn cute.<\/p>\n
Writing is at one of those sit-by-the-pond-and-think stages…I’m doing outline, so far as involves just writing down the sequence of events; the plot, I’ve got; but the sequence of events comes next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
