No word yet from Peggy, so I got started on chores by reinstalling air conditioner in living room, incredibly sweaty, covered in weird filth, hiking looking worse by the moment. Maybe I'll go to Joel & Emily's and have more key lime pie & tres leches cake instead, more my speed anyway. I should really write a hymn to sweetened condensed milk some time, it's divine.

Ah, John just called, off to the Silver Spoon...
