Not much to post about today, honestly.  I spent the afternoon out on the terrace with my wife; she was getting her garden into shape, and I was re-reading my short novel The Sorrows of Empire as a prelude to expanding it to twice the size over the next several weeks.

Took a break. Went out and bought groceries. Came home and took a shower.

Time now for a late dinner. Leftovers this weekend. (A shame, since this is prime barbecuing weather.) For dessert: banana cake with chocolate frosting. Mm-yeah.
