The virtue of getting up as early as I do is this: I wrote sturdily on my novel, did a short weight set and an aerobics class at the Y, bought and unloaded many bags of mulch, did a huge garden project, showered, shaved. and it is not yet noon.

A little more weeding before the storm, without having doused myself with Skin-so-Soft: seven painful mosquito bites in as many minutes. In Ohio they have the decency to be big and meaty and visible so they can be swatted.
