I had planned to resume blogging upon returning home from a short Labor Day weekend vacation; unfortunately, I did not count on the air conditioning system at home going kaput.

Being that I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, and given the very high temperatures (as well as high humidity), I had to take up temporary residence at a friend’s house until the AC gets repaired.

Luckily, I will not have to conjure up thousands of dollars, as the home warranty plan is paying for the repairs (minus a nominal fee on my part). Hopefully, I can come home to air-conditioned comfort this weekend. If not, I’ll work on getting access to a wireless connection somewhere.

Thanks for your continuous patience and patronage!
