Too damn hot

Ow. I can’t steer. Ow.
Right before I snapped the picture it said 103. That just isn’t right.

But it’s OK. I’m going to get my hairs did. Nothing can bring me down this afternoon because in a few hours I will be adorable.

Good-bye, beach

For perspective, this bunny was at least 25 feet tall. At least

I’ll miss you, Tierra del Mar.

Kathleen, you are the 2nd Wonder of the World as a hostess. We all feel better after a weekend in your home.
Much love. You rock.

I’m also going to call out my friends for being fantastic. I am so lucky to have you to eat with, drink with and argue with. And drink with. I mentioned the drinking, right? I love you all.

See you soon.

My liver is going to take a nap now. It’s going to be really well trained for tailgating season next weekend!

Not sure how I got so lucky.
I am surrounded by people who are funny and smart.

Life is a gift, y’all.

Sometimes you dream…

And sometimes it seems you are right in the middle of a Wild West oil painting.

Watching shadows of clouds as they flow by on the moraine on the opposite side of the lake.

Only dreamier.

Until the thunder and lightning start.

8 years ago today, I married
this adorable gap-toothed guy with Elvis glasses and bleach blond
hair. I seem to have kept him. It was a smart decision.

Exciting events of the day include a minor dog fight and an osprey sighting.

I am starting my..4th?…book of the trip. It’s about infectious
diseases and crazy scientists who experiment on themselves.
Non-fiction. How unlike me!

I just hit a yellow jacket 8 times with
a fly swatter and it didn’t die. Do I need to get a swatter
specific to yellow jackets? Or do you think it was some sort of
zom-Bee that will now return to kill me in my sleep?

Having a good
time, wish you were here, etc.

Sooooo…when you see the lightning
strike and don’t even have time to count to two before the thunder
bolt comes…that’s close, yeah?

Boom, baby. Boom.

Holy fuck. That
is some serious thunder. Like the gods are bowling with huge
granite boulders on a hot tin roof over the lake. And Mark is down
on the dock fishing.

Go, Mark!
