This is why I like it here - admiration for spending time indoors rather then getting out and about in the summer weather!

Yep! Summer stinks. I’m in Taiwan, it’s hot and humid. Unbearable. Thank the gods for the AC and home theater.

Busy month. Work started up, plus my other job picking up, tons of baseball, and some personal stuff, so while I wasn't able to get to 50, I got closer than I thought I would. Hopefully next month is better, but I'd settle for around the same amount.
