Since moving to the Hill Country (yes, we do capitalize that phrase in Texas), last May, I've come to appreciate the weather in San Diego more than I had. Ninety-degree highs there had me cursing the heat. Now, with temperatures soaring above 100 degrees for the past 71 days, I look back and laugh at myself. But it's September and a cool front is scheduled in a few days, so I've decided to enjoy the luxury (or necessity) of air-conditioning and get some writing done.
