Slow start, cool breezes.

Would like to get out & take some photos today.

It's a very wet night.

Just back from taking the dogs out for a brief promenade, lovely out despite the rain, pleasant clean air, striking reflections from street lamps in the streams on the sidewalks and pavements.

Arch Street is closed, the arch is flooded.

Before that, finished watching The Lord of the Rings, adore sentimental claptrap, I do, I do.

Earlier, made some pasta with an alfredo sauce, with a side of local tomatoes in a simple vinaigrette.

Picked up some photos I'd ordered, ordered a festive lemon cake, did some work.

Can keep going further back, all the way into the abyss if I like- it's somewhat burdensome, freedom of movement, can get a bit vertiginous. In any case, has its good points, wouldn't trade it.

Out in the rain, and even before, listening to it, thinking rainy day thoughts, worries, pities, other days, rainy & otherwise.

Find myself feeling stretched a bit thin, then snap right back into shape, slip on a hoodie & get on with it.

Terse & telegraphic, ai ai ai.

Damp morning.

Coffee is my friend.

Lovely dinner of snacks, got a one eyed doll & some buttons at craft fair, socialized with chums.

Once home again, ate some fancy ice cream while watching many, many orcs get slaughtered.

Still unpleasantly warm, will probably sleep poorly.

Have a cramp in my lower back, another in my style, should probably sort those out. Hot shower, maybe.

On back porch with dogs, enjoying breeze, waiting to head out for adventures. I love a laptop.

Big yawn.

Lots of butterflies in the yard.

Lovely lazy day, made some scrambled eggs with leftover sauteed vegetables. Going to go get some bar snacks in a bit, then head south for craft fair.

Too darn hot.

Lazy belated Labor Day, L.'s home too, not feeling too well.

Craft fair in Northampton later, may go order a cake en route.

No RSVPs today.

Those fried doughs with maple cream are quite something.

L. rode the Freak Out, I was too tall.

Feet hurt, sweaty, etc.

Just back from parade, dog walk, then fair.

Too darn hot.

Got called assholes by old lady for crossing at crosswalk, a charming town.

Took a nap, seem to have become much more nap oriented of late.

Out on the back porch with dogs & mosquitos.

Need to go buy cat food.

Parade, parade.

Hello, long weekend, long time, no see.

Began the festivities with a kielbasa reuben, parade & fair on tap for later. Hip, hip.

Had a nice little dinner get together, followed immediately by a Pickles escape with all the usual drama, plus a batty old lady complete with motorized wheelchair & service dog threatening to sue us, calling the cops on me, etc. Big fun. Cop was pretty nice about it, anyway.

Finally we recovered Pickles & all had cake. The end.

Relaxing under cooling fan.

Drugged feeling persists, hugs not drugs, hugs not drugs.

Work is being goofy, but not in a charming way.

Sounds like more cookery later, may be a new trend.

Having a Dr. Pepper as the opening salvo of my campaign to feel less sedated.

Thinking ruefully of the pervading stupidity, seeps into everything. Bored with it.

Want more fun.

The morning Frege's been being good to me, anyway. Sinn, Bedeutung, etc., etc.

Sleep's not wanting to let me go this morning, wish I could accommodate.

Sleep, sleep, sleep.

OK, should shower.

Made some steak & sauteed vegetables for dinner, pretty easy, still got all sweaty, probably why I haven't been cooking much lately.

Anyway, juicy peppery goodness.

Peretz just spilled a drink, the decadence.

Apparently even twelve hours of sleep can't prevent me from feeling drowsy at work.

Went & walked across the street for a coffee a while ago & experienced ecstatic sunshiny moment, warm & pleasant, warm & pleasant.

Want a burger.

Slept for a very long time, haven't done that for quite a while, was lovely.

Pickles is licking my comforter.

BBQ = good times, a bit sleepy to fully appreciate, had several hot dogs, some cake, etc.

Going to take a nap.

Peretz has the runs, probably down to all the time we were away yesterday shuttling the kid about. He worries.

Was funny spending all that time driving along the coast with none spent at the seaside.

Did get an Italian Bomb from Modern Apizza, amazing thing, that. Going to have a leftover piece in a minute, I think.

It's Labor Day, so, naturally, I need to go to work.

Once done with that, bbq & wiffle ball like everybody else.
