1... 2... 3...

Okay. I'll count my blessings. At least when it's 104 out in the sun it's only 28% humidity. Whew. I can't imagine it being both humid and that hot.

Last night was mildly miserable as it wasn't until midnight that things finally cooled down to be below 80. But by this morning, it was a cool 63 outside, and we threw open the house, got all the fans running, and my, what comfort...

Working away this morning at writing about things I do not know...

Kinda like Trip's signature.

But different. Nice to have the license to bug everyone from VP's on down about what I don't know so that I'll know it well enough to capture specifications that can be done in the amount of time we're given. Doing this as a full-time job has made me just a bit more immune to the fear of coming across like an idiot, because, well, I am. Or at least ignorant. Folks, last release, commented on how quickly I absorbed huge amounts of information and got a good handle on entire systems no one else kept in their head, so I'm proud of that.

Maybe it should be "I write about things I did not know..."

My Spy Kids Dream

I had this dream of a day camp for kids, but it was... uhm... kind of like my numerous spy dreams, too, where there were terrible things happening and one simply had to deal. Including a mother who had to take the plates off her car, and substitute the plates of another passing car because someone was tracking the plates in order to find her daughter and steal her.. and it was just one of the easy precautions we could take...

Or going shoulder deep in a river as cold as the Winatchee was (basically melted snow runoff) with Jet on my shoulders, holding onto my ears and giggling and kicking his feet while we threw off the scent for ground scent dogs and managed to get to a mid-river hideout of black rock.

Amusingly enough, I remember scheduling snacks and naps with a few of the other mom's and trying to coordinate the schedules so that everyone would get what they needed, and we'd still get the travelling in that we needed to do.
