August. Becalmed.

Three weeks since my last post. Hoped for news about secret project. Got it. It was to wait for more news.

Meanwhile, writing like a fiend. Reading Young's literal translation of the Bible. Finished the new Naomi Novik novel. Watching Mad Men like it's a drug. Watching Olympics like I can spare the time. Playing with Evie and Dash. Getting ready to live in Michigan again, if only for a couple months.

Romeo & Juliet is like the horror-film monster of my life – no matter how I try, I can't kill it.

Started yet another new novel yesterday. Funny. Will never see the light of day, I think. Too much truth in it. Friends would see right through it.

More soon.  Must go quell the brewing feline mutiny.
