I just found out that a good friend in Phoenix died suddenly yesterday. I am absolutely numb. There are things I need to do today, like go to the grocery store, but all I want to do is curl into the fetal position and ball my eyes out. Not that it will change matters, or bring Yehudah back.

Oh, Beth, I'm so sorry about your friend. Unexpected deaths are very difficult (lost my mom that way). Maeve, Fiona and Margot send you big furry golden retriever hugs. While not as special as hugs from those three, I send you a hug too.

Sorry, Beth. Many years ago, I woke up to the headline in the Sunday AZ Republic describing the brutal murder of one of my former colleagues. While no death is wanted, the sudden aspect of it was horrible. The last time I had seen him was about 2 months previously, when he came to my younger son's naming ceremony, and my final image of him is him holding my 2.5 year old on his lap during the service...
We took our canoe out for the first time this year... just a nice quiet paddle on a local pond, with a picnic lunch. Since it's not sunny out, there were no jet skiers on the pond, which was nice. But, when we were unloading our gear from the car, a bunch of guys on ATVs came barreling through the very hilly, rocky parking area, rode between our car and the next one, and went up a steep hill, like 3 times. I told them to "get a real bike."

We have a heat advisory here, starting at 2 PM. Since that is the time I usually ride to the farmer's market in the next town, I decided to be good and I just came back from a walk. The heat index is supposed to be over 100 and it is really humid. There's a severe thunderstorm watch, too.
Although we did have a couple of 90 degree, Arizona like days in April, the heat here is always accompanied by humidity. Thankfully, it will be gone tomorrow.
I am going to drive to a closer farm stand and then kick back in the AC.
