(and
some non-fiction), I watch HBO, TCM, CSPAN, etc. :-)

Lovely, but a bit hot. And VERY sunny out here (and nearly always is).
Dry and hot.
There is rarely much humidity out here (unlike back East). Sometimes I
miss that.
And I miss all that GREEN lushness back East, because it is sooo lush out
there, and GREEN. And all the TREES!!! (but I don' miss the humid
summers back East - especially when it's over 80 degrees out there!)
:-)
How's it out there?
