summer might be here

Warm enough to kick up the cooler in the house today for the first time. Sunset is well after 8:30pm and it's still light on the  horizon at 10pm. Rick always says summer doesn't start until after the 4th of July.

The final term of my MFA began in June with a 10-day residency on campus. Lots of work ahead to finish my thesis by November deadlines. Lots of reading. Also taking the GRE in August and getting some PhD apps out into the world. Who knows what will happen next.

Rick spent all of June on the road working: Chicago, Long Island, Costa Mesa. Missed a bunch of birthdays, two climbs, Father's Day, and a couple of baseball games. Plus I missed him every single day. Now he's home and catching up on some climbing, yard puttering, and lots and lots of snuggling.

Today, we saw Prometheus (a disappointment) at the HD theater in the 21+ Living Room that started out with pre-show accordion performance from the balcony. Decadence got nothing on Cinetopia.

Short and sweet. Just like summer in the PacNW.
