strokes of exceptional luck

Today it is so abysmally hot that I am disinclined to move. Alas, today happened to be my guitar lesson, which means that I not only must move, but I must exert myself rather greatly on a road with no shade to speak of. I showered immediately upon coming home; I am beginning to think I ought to have taken a bath.

Speaking of guitars! Egad, have I got news!

( extra! extra! )

And now I am off to have dinner. Bedim this heat.
