Today's Activities Include: it is very humid out there, new book, silliness on BI

[walkitout]

The older Chinese ladies out walking all have fans. They are much smarter than I am. I only saw one cyclist while I was out (well, one road biker in spandex, one woman with a purse slung over her shoulder riding on the sidewalk) and a lone jogger. Plenty of people out walking, tho. I did the three mile loop this evening and it was 91 when I went out and 91 when I came back and I just got straight into the shower because that was ridiculous. Not too many bugs, tho, so that's something.

New Harmony novel out from JAK/Jayne Castle, so at least I have some suitably enjoyable and undemanding reading for a hot summer evening.

BI is still pushing the Zombie Apocalypse Theme, with Wolf Richter weighing in on the idea that Oh Noes, crashes! better get out of stocks!!! *sigh* Seriously. Pick good companies and ride it out. But ya know, each to their own. Just make sure you understand the basic idea in Seth Godin's _The Dip_ and don't bail out at the bottom.

BI _also_ has a fun little roundup on various studies/experts on the subject of when to do the deed in a new relationship.

Obvs, ignore the Brigham Young person. That's like believing those studies funded by cigarette makers that said that tobacco wasn't actually all that bad for you. I'm completely with Goldsmith: don't push, but 36 hours cumulative time in each other's company ought to do it. But don't take my advice. My husband and I knew each other as friends (without benefits) for over a decade before we got together.

I can't really imagine a situation in which the answer wouldn't be "It depends."

I don't get this sentence: "He thinks the time after the honeymoon period, or the time before a couple has children, is too late." Er -- that sounds as though he thinks some people put off having sex until after they have children.
