Last night it rained heavily; we got probably 2 inches and the ceiling in the living room began leaking. These heavy rains in early summer are my favorite. The garden is a deep green. I decide to stay home from work today to enjoy the rain and the empty house. AJM is in San Francisco representing Lombardi Software at a Gartner Group conference. I cleaned up SAM’s things and then cleaned out the closet in our bedroom, built a temporary shelf in it for the magazines, and bought two more plastic filing boxes.
