Home again! And just in time for a terrible heat wave. Temperatures here in the valley are in the hundreds (Fahrenheit). It was 106 yesterday. Today is only supposed to reach 103, which has everyone joking that we'll need to take along sweaters.

During the drive to Tahoe, with my daughter at the wheel, I was reading mail on my phone. I read out loud a very nice comment I'd just received for one of my stories, Hyperbole. She expressed some polite interest, which led to my giving her a little background on the story. To my surprise, she really wanted to hear the whole thing, so I spun an entire synopsis. And she really liked it, or at least my telling of it. However, she did disapprove of Hermione Granger winding up with anyone but Ron Weasley. She's a diehard canon fan, and in the end, can't understand why we'd pair Hermione with anyone else. We mutually agreed she shouldn't trouble herself with fanfiction at this point in life.

Where in the Valley? I'm in the San Gabriel Valley (the other, not as hot one... lol)

I'm up in the San Joaquin Valley--the top side, where the hipsters frolic.

LOL!!!! I have to keep my husband from running the hipsters over. They have moved into his mother's neighborhood.

I had to jump right over and read this story. I love it!

You, madam, are a reader of rare form for posting comments on all the chapters! I loved seeing them pop up in my email. Thanks for taking the time.

Goodness, I hope Fahrenheit and not Celsius. (*boils away*)
