The heat wave seems to have broken - a lovely 61 degrees here this morning with a predicted high of 80. I approve, I definitely approve. My entire body -- although achy from lack of sleep -- is already bouncing back, and my brain is less fogged and cranky.
[the lack of sleep was due to a dream about Disaster of Bathroom proportions, which is due not only to the bathroom renovations being planned, but Someone's rather detailed description of his own Bathroom Disaster. Thanks, pal.]
On the plus side, I woke to a request from an on-line travel guide to use one of my photos from the Dublin trip in their guidebook, under a Creative Commons license*. I had thought at first they wanted to use the one of Dublin Castle, which I love

but no, it was

Fair enough. So now to see if it makes the final layout cut.
And my to-do list today, this last day of June, is kinda insane, so off I go, hatchet and red pencil in hand...
*I take photos for my own enjoyment and eddification, and don't aspire to pro-dom in that field, so creative commons is the way I chose to go. The only time I charge is when people want physical copies, and then it's just to cover my costs.

After 90s with heat indexes over 100, this is very pleasant. Unfortunately, it's supposed to be right back in the sauna after the 4th, so it'll reach you by Tues/Wed.
