It is 102 right now which is supposed to be our high for today. The next week or so should be in the 90's or high 80's, so it will be a little more comfortable. This is really awful, but I can deal with it. I took a nap in the bedroom this afternoon and it's surprising how much cooler the back of the house is in the afternoons - the opposite it true of the front of the house though! You just can't have it all. Note: I have windows open in every room of the house, but the kitchen is like an oven whereas the air is cooler everywhere else.)
I mentioned in a past blog that I check the cookies on my computer every couple of days and delete most of them. One thing I notice is that many of the blogs I read leave their cookie. Not all of them do, but a good number, and I wonder if anyone has a reasonable explanation for why they do that. I just delete them and they reappear the next time I read that blog.
I find that I am extremely bored with TV lately, and leave it off much of the time. The same goes with the computer - I love reading the blogs and keeping current with what folks are doing, and I check my emails several times a day, but other than that there isn't anything worth spending time online for. Thank goodness I dropped FB a couple of years ago and have never learned to Twitter (or is that to Tweet). I think the whole concept of Twitter is juvenile, but that is how it appears to me and obviously most people don't share my opinion.
I want to correct something I wrote yesterday and that is the campgrounds we looked at were at about 4000+ feet, not the 6000 ft I mentioned. Not really important, but I don't like to be 2000 ft inaccurate.
Gym tonight, and I sure need it. I'm gaining weight and muscle, but with all the food intake my belly doesn't match the rest of me. I'd love to know how to whittle it down, although I'm still afraid of damaging the hernia repair. I still have frequent aches and pains in the area which I deem to be the mesh to which tissue adheres over time. (I don't exactly know this to be the reason for the pain, but it sounds as good as anything else I can come up with. )
I had such a good time with Steve and my grandson Liam yesterday. Liam will be 4 in August, and is amazingly aware of paleontology and the various kinds of dinosaurs. The names just roll off his tongue like he's been saying them all his life - he probably has been saying them for at least the past year. Tyrannosaurus, brontosaurus, triceratops, stegosaurus - he knows them all and many more. These are just the ones I can pronounce, but Liam totally amazes me with his knowledge of the names, what they look like, what they eat, how they act, (put all this in the past tense, of course. They haven't been eating for a long time!). I really hope he maintains his interest because I see a budding paleontologist coming up.
I think I will go stand in a cool shower for a while before getting my gym clothes on. Stay cool, y'all.

- Ring-ring!
Yes, my phone is still ringing but I just ignore it. A suggestion to block 800 calls wouldn't work, as a lot of the calls have the local area code. I should call ATT to see if I can stop the service. They are so vague and talk so...
- A Short Update
When I think I'm going to write just a short piece, it ends up getting quite wordy! I can't help it. Update on chiropractic care - I am noticing, and the doctor says that my posture is improving quickly. Jeannie had to have a...
- A Day With Liam
I had Liam today - Steve had to drive to a meeting in San Francisco, and Meg had to work. Steve hasn't been feeling well and Meg went home early because of being sick. I spoke with Jeannie and she sounds really bad too. We all have...
- I Did It!
The laugh is on me! I decided to scroll through the cookies every other day or so and get rid of the ones that had been added. Somehow instead of clicking on "delete individual cookies", I clicked "delete all cookies". It's no big...

Yesterday I went over to stay with grandson Liam while Meg went to the doctor. I drove through some heavy rain getting to their house, but only a mist coming back. As always I'm happy to be with my grandchildren, and worn out when I get...
