The white hot temps of a NYC summer are suddenly and unexpectedly upon us. Usually it's not in the 90s till July and August--never in early June. It's been 99 yesterday and 97 today. Tomorrow it might cool down to 88--whoopie!

I've finished the Nebula Award Showcase Anthology and am relieved and delighted. (well, I'm awaiting one returned contract and a couple of paragraphs from Mike Moorcock about his reprinted story. Then I can hand it in to Ginjer when she's back in the office next week. Extra whoopie!!!

Luckily discovered some problems in the copy edit of Troll's Eye View that are fixable (story order screwed up when I handed the wrong TOCs in)...and am now awaiting several contributor responses to CE queries.

Time to read the stories for the physical incarnation of the Codex online writer's workshop I'm teaching at in a few weeks down in Chattanooga. And read mss and YBFH stuff.

More later.

While I was driving back to the office at lunch time, the temperature dropped from 90° to 74° in the space of about 3 minutes. It fely good, after days in the high 90s--but then it got dark...

Oh, yeah. Some much-needed rain, and not so badly needed wind. Pine cones were ricocheting off our roof shingles like shrapnel. The sky still looks the same color as what you see during most of Twister.

WHERE do you live?

We've gotten rain in between and are supposed to have more T storms today and tonight.

A little north of Houston. Weather like this isn't unusual during the summer. However, I've lived here for nearly 20 years and have never seen a tornado, though we've had them within 5 or 10 miles of us.

Oik! Yeah I've been to Texas in summertime --blchhh.

I'd love to see a tornado from a safe place...that was one of the two best things in The Day After Tomorrow--the other was NYC freezing...

We saw one in the distance once when we were driving through Illinois many years ago. It was a long ways off, though, probably just as well.

We also saw a water spout while we were out in a SCUBA boat in the Cayman Islands. That one was really cool.

I'd love to see a water spout but not while I'm in the water thank you :-)
