Wow. We are seriously into the Dog Days of Summer. That, combined with the fact that I've

**FINALLY**

managed to automate all of my computer coding, means that I'm finding myself sitting around, just waiting for my work to get done for me. Can you imagine? All those prior blog posts of mine, where I mentioned sheer volumes of work I had piled before me? I have PC tools now, that enable all that to be done without my supervision. Literally, all I have to do is sit around - and all that work will be done for me over time.

And, during the eight days (!) it's been since I've last posted, I've been lying around, mostly - and sometimes totally - naked, spread-eagled, and listening to Enigma softly playing on my sound system. The heat has reduced Anya to imitating me, lying around and panting rapidly. In order for me to obtain use of the fans that she has surrounded herself with, I assure her on a daily basis that "her Amazonian sexiness has totally shattered my view of other women, and that - at best - I am only worthy enough to kiss her toes." Only after that do I get a fan. (She knows that the "worthiness" part is hard for me to say, so she coerces me to say it frequently.)

At one point, we arranged all of the fans in the house into a wide circle, and made a giant tornado of papers, plastic bags, and light household items. And the whole spectacle was more amusing than watching TV.

So, just letting you know, I'm not dead.
