I am tempted not to write this. I am tempted to let this summer drift away the way I have let this year pass. Without documentation and analyzing and all the things that complicate life.

But then I will remember less.

The girls upstairs found a kitten, and they named her Delilah. She's orange like our old cat. One second. I can't remember whether I took yogurt out of the fridge and then forgot about it.
