I am currently reading THE POWER OF ONE and wondering how I missed reading this when it was first published in 1989.

Jennifer I just shared your shower story with Keith.

Is the shower designed to be shared or is it one shower head?

Well they are redoing the ladies locker room. So right now the family locker room is the ladies locker room. So it's a bit different. Not sure what the new ladies locker room will be. But the old ladies locker room had 10 showerheads out in the open (no curtains). And then 2 curtained showers.

The family room has 3 shower rooms. 2 have doors and the other doesn't have a door. They each have 2 showers in them. But the one I was in only one shower head works.

I do get that since there are normally 2 showerheads in a room ... they wanted to share. But since the other showerhead doesn't work, and since I think it's fair to be allowed some privacy when you're naked and showering ... I had absolutely no problem telling those ladies to wait.

Maybe I'm a prude, but I cannot imagine someone opening up a shower and asking a complete stranger to share

ROTFLOL!!! I know.

Jane, I just read the reviews of THE MEANING OF NIGHT and now I see what you were referring to. Yes, the main character admits to a murder early in the story. But, as the story unfolds, he tells how he was framed and betrayed, which takes place over many years, and you come to understand why he felt compelled to murder. You may not agree, but you understand it.

I don't know your taste well enough to say whether you'd enjoy it or not. It is a highly stylized book and not for those looking for a quick read. It is not gruesome and it's fairly "clean" other than the two murders. The main character is a very likable fellow until the first murder. You would like him, I think, at least up until that point.

I just read the reviews for THE POWER OF ONE. It sounds quite interesting. I put it in my Amazon cart. My Amazon cart is almost as big as my Netflix queue.

It was snowing while Sherlock and I hiked. It is nice out now, cold but clear and sunny. I hope it stays clear so we can see the Supermoon tonight. It was rather big & bright last night.

I hope I remember to go out on the balcony at sunset.

Thanks. I will add the two books to my list of books to read which is longer than my NetFlix queue. I also have five books on my library queue, all expected in at various times.

We are lucky if the moon is visible we won't miss it. The light from a bright moon really lights up that side of the house.

I suggest reading a bit about the Boer War, if you aren't familiar with the details, prior to beginning the book.

I am reading a new (to me) novel by Michael Cox. I read his THE MEANING OF NIGHT a couple months ago and found it very interesting. It's a gothic tale of betrayal and murder. I'm now reading THE GLASS OF TIME, which is REALLY hard to put down. It takes place twenty or so years later, with a few of the same characters, and is again about betrayal and revenge, but this time the tables are turned a bit. I think some of our DRs would enjoy it. If you enjoy seeing the guilty parties get their comeuppance, then this is for you.

Has anyone else read the other Charlaine Harris series of books? The Aurora Teagarden series. No vampires in any of that series.

The Vixter and I have been running all over town today doing errands -- the performers in last night's production of Cabaret would most likely be pleased to know that all day our conversation centered around last night's performance

I much prefer the stage version of CABARET. I played Herr Schultz.

Ben - when we upgraded our card program was not compatible - much to my disappointment - I have never found a card program I liked as well as my initial Hallmark greetings workshop from 1996

I have always used Prinmaster.

Why did you mention vampires? I don't believe DR Jeanne mentioned vampires in these two books. Am I missing something?

It is completely cloudy here, so I suppose I will have a very poor photo to share.

I really don't understand the point of going to a public swimming pool if you can't shower with a group of naked strangers when you are finished!

No, but the other Charlaine Harris series of books is the Sookie Stackhouse series which is the basis of the TRUE BLOOD series on HBO.

Hmm, I wonder if Keith put the camera away. I thought I had left it on my messy desk. I want to remember to take it hiking as I was told today that a bear cub was spotted yesterday morning. They had their young dog on a leash to protect it & mentioned Sherlock looked like the cub.
