Numbers, Always the Numbers
1) Well, John Harwood's The Ghost Writer is NOT going on my "What I've Read This Year" list. I hated the story-within-a-story format, which surprised me because I've loved David Mitchell's novels where he used much the same technique. Whatever; I hated it here, and I'm sure it didn't help that the narrator was an idiot and I didn't care about him or his (complete lack of a) love life. I gave up a bit more than half way through, but I did read the last chapter. It really didn't help -- I'm not giving anything away by saying that at the end the narrator falls out of a tree.
2) Now reading Joe Hill's The Fireman and liking it much more.
3) Ran errands today and stopped by World Market and Sprouts. Got a couple of nice soft bath towels at World Market for about $8 (had a 20%-off coupon), and Sprouts had fresh Georgia peaches on sale for 88 cents a pound (and they were RIPE and smelled DELICIOUS, which is just amazing).
4) Layla was woofing and bouncing around the deck late this afternoon, so I went out to see what was the matter. There was a little green anole lizard sitting in the branches of our potted Meyer lemon tree, and she wanted it to come play with her. :D
5) There is an invisible (5) here.
