Scorching hot day! Probably the warmest day since I've arrived. Rains have receded and so it's April without the showers. I'm feeling logy and sleepy--even though I've eaten a substantial lunch and downed my daily green tea Frappaccino for today.

I'm rationing my play on the Just Words game--I'm only playing one round at the medium level each day. Otherwise, I become totally absorbed and loose track of time, get to bed late, and other addictive phenomena. At the medium level, the game is winnable even though there is still some mystery surrounding the computer plays and final scoring. But, I'm learning some of the computer's new words--such as ZA, short for pizza, where the letter Z scores 10 points, plus any multipliers that it might land on when played to the board. Oh, lexiconic joys!

Wacko neighbor has been doing something (noisy) all day around his place. There are people coming/going, lots of chatter, and presumably something being done. Despite the warming outdoors, my room stays fairly cool even in the late afternoon, with a western exposure. Looking forward to seeing the lunar eclipse next week with the red moon. If not cloudy, I should have a full view of the event (assuming that I'll be up around 3am as per usual).

Palm Sunday, Tax Day, Passover, Lunar eclipse, Good Friday, Easter, all leading up to Cinco de Mayo--holidaze upon holidaze! And interspersed, some dancing! Don't step on the hidden eggs!

Dreamed something loud last night. I seem to recall me talking to someone in my sleep and waking myself with the conversation. Not sure! It was warmer than usual last night and I was tossing/turning some.
