You fill in the blank. Me, I love the warmth. I’ve been waiting for months for the coastal fog to lift so I can sit in my garden and write. I even prepared for it by buying a tablet I can write on in bright sun, one that translates my scribbles into text. (It does a pretty good job but it hasn’t figured out the difference between small and capital T’s yet.) But we went from foggy 60 to sunny 80 overnight, so I’m sitting in the shade. Life takes twists, you know?
