it's post Hurricane Earl and the temperature is back to a manageble cool... I went for a walk today for the first time in awhile. It was good but my legs are still painful and problematic after a short stroll...

I've been eating strawberry rhubarb pie for days... It's so good. I bought the first one and before I was finished, Sheila brought me two more that she had to bake up after Earl knocked ou the power and the freezer unfroze. If you've got to eat something for days you can do worse than strawberry rhubarb pie...

I seem to have lost some weight despite the pie... maybe it was the heat and maybe it's just one of those phases I go through where I don't seem to eat as much. It's quite mysterious really. I am very hopeful that it will continue... There's a pair of pants i want to fit into....

Tomorrow is a work day... I am off to bed shortly... early to bed and early to rise, reduces the girth of the waist and the thighs....

hot as jalapenos

Well it's hotter than pretty much anytime in this summer... everybody's melting. It's Ramadan and I don't know how Muslims can get through the day without drinking in this weather!! Tonight there was an Iftar celebration at SMU where I read poetry along with a number of local poets and spoken word artists... and then had yummy food to break the fast. I finished off the frozen yogurt when I got home and now am contemplating sucking on an ice cube.

I didn't manage to have a walk the past couple days... just too exhausting in the heat... but i did do some work indoors, if keyboarding in front of an air conditioner counts.

It's time for bed... maybe I'll go for a run in the Arctic in my dreams. That would be nice.
