Apparently, this year’s half-marathon (I never do the full marathon, because I like sleep) will take place during a heatwave. If today was any indication, tomorrow will be quite toasty indeed. Makes me glad I had an air conditioner (excuse me\u2014”ductless heat pump”) installed about a year and a half ago.<\/p>\n

This will be my fifth time participating. Much like last year, I have continued to have difficulty writing; instead, I have had much better luck with music (https:\/\/tintymusic.bandcamp.com\/<\/a>). Whatever anyone thinks of the sounds, many of the titles I have come up with have been miles better than most of my attempts at new poems. For this reason, I am glad to have this year’s half-marathon (did I mention that I like sleep?) to present a challenge.<\/p>\n

With that, I set the timer on my air conditioner (did I mention that I like sleep) and get ready for bed. Six o’clock comes early.<\/p>\n
