Had landley and fadethecat over for supper this evening. Macaroni Quattro Formaggio, a/k/a macaroni and cheese, and then we went over to Amy's for ice cream. The temperature was tolerable and we were four people with enough money and time to stand around eating excellent ice cream. Life is good.

Today's mail: The Nation. I love doing the crossword puzzle.

I get paid at the end of this month, so I can buy some more books! I've got a backlist of titles...

And you thought CPAs were dull! (This particular quarter includes a crime of moral turpitude, and a conviction regarding the manufacture of methamphetamines.)

Spousal Unit has a rehearsal in Wimberly this evening, so I shall sit here alone, reading and then hosting Small Mammal Chat on AOL at 8:00 my time. We won't get around to supper until around 10 p.m.
