Clever is as clever does

I've been pretty quiet on this site this summer. There isn't much interesting going on -- I've just finished a big project at work that started at the beginning of the year, but it's just another tech writing project at an enterprise software company. It pays well but there is little to say; I wrote up a description a few months ago. I haven't worked much on my novel, I haven't been to any readings or performances, and the only travel I have in the future is to see my sick mother. My day is pretty much work, exercise, do chores around the house, and get to sleep. So, sorry for the lack of clever observations. There isn't much gas in the tank these days.
