Well I wrote up this whole little entry about beautiful summer nights in Georgia and how nice it is to sit out on the back porch watching a storm roll in–feeling the humidity build until it seems like you could actually pull the rain drops from the clouds . . . but then our stupid computer froze up and I lost it all.            Ah well . . .

I did have a lovely conversation yesterday evening with my dear Vanessa Pearl and it was so nice to hear her voice; she has a knack for keeping me talking even when I think I have nothing to say. Missing your friends shouldn’t usually make you laugh, but I think it makes me laugh because when I finally get to hear from them it’s just so wonderfully funny.

I’m out of time. Got to go pick up the youngest. Later!
