As I already noted, we’re back from our vacation. It was a good trip, relaxing. Despite the lost baggage incident, it went as excellently as a vacation could. A couple hours at the beach each day, mostly sunny, no sunburns, visits to historic Civil War era sites (I could feel my interest re-kindling). Didn’t feel […]

Reading list for the week while we’re laid up, kickin’ it on the beach? Christopher Moore’s A Dirty Job. Why? Lamb was incredibly good, Blood-Sucking Fiends was entertaining beach fodder in the past, as was Island of the Sequined Love Nun. Plus, I am sooooo judging this book by its cover. (Who wouldn’t?) Plus, this […]
