I took the day off work, since I woke up at 4 AM feeling distinctly rumbly in the tumbly, and figured discretion is the better part of valor.

As the temperature rises here on the Peninsula, and with it the temperature in our non-air-conditioned house, I find myself wondering whether I made the wrong choice, especially since all seems well with my middle at the moment.

It’s supposed to reach 88 here today. Yeesh.
