8/10: more martial

I have a plan to finish reading a certain number of poems by Martial by the beginning of the semester. This afternoon as I translated the lights went out during a thunderstorm. I moved from my office to the main room since its large windows provided enough light to continue. While the rain came down, I read more than my daily allotment, which not only was fun but also lightens my assignments for the rest of this week and next.

I grew up in the Midwest. I miss those heavy Illinois summer downpours!

The afternoon downpours are kind of amazing, and they're not something I grew up with, so they still take me by surprise. Our main room has such large windows that it's like watching a show during the storms.
