Went to brunch with S, D, and MD--delicious treat. The place was trying out a new brunch menu--and it is filled with tasty treats. I had a skillet entree with three eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, cheese, a special sauce, and other delights--I ate the whole thing. The flavors in the dish were outstanding--will be memorable.

Came home and slept for several hours--finally got up and out for a Frap.

Dance tomorrow afternoon in Shingle Springs--temperature is predicted to be over 105. Hot, hot, hot--it's nearly midnight and it's 80 outdoors still.

Watched a movie, House of Spirits, that was adapted from Allende's book by that title. The film had some heavy duty talent--Streep, Ryder, Irons, Mueller, Redgrave, Banderas, Close and such. I think I had seen the movie before--but except for a few visuals I didn't seem to recall many details.

I stayed up quite late last night--didn't get down to sleep until about 4am. That contributed to my lethargy today--but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on how I felt today. Brunch became an anchor as the day went by--and the long nap after brunch put things back in place. Will see what happens tonight--and on into tomorrow afternoon and the dancing.
