Have not heard from the Darling Daughter, but she gets terrible cell service where she is and has no land line.

Did just under three very brisk miles on the treadmill - couldn't do any more at that speed - burned off 400 calories.

I am now sweating like a pig.  Do pigs really sweat?

Craig called just when we wanted him to this morning-perfect timing.

Then Bryan called.  I did check yesterday if he was working today and knew he had the day off.  He also knew we were going out in the afternoon.  He was off work today to study for his 2nd to last board exams (3 out of 4).  Monday & Tuesday he has 8 hours each of exams.

Not fun.  I guess she doesn't really enjoy using the phone ;)

Presumably, they sweeten the corn?


I don't know. But DR TCB knows from corn.    :)

Today is my dad's 85th birthday.  I've talked to him three times in the past 2 days.  I got him what he really wanted....an Amazon gift certificate.  He doesn't really want much todo about his birthday. They are going to the summer theater tonight to see a farse.  He'll enjoy that


Thanks!  I'll pass it on

DR's Jane and Jennifer,

What type of books do you like best?

I like chicklit (like Sophie Kinsella or Emily Giffin), adult mysteries (like Lisa Gardner), dystopia (like Veronica Roth, Kiera Cass, Lauren Oliver, Marissa Meyer), young adult contemporary (like Katie McGarry), paranormal (like Kelley Armstrong, Richelle Mead, Maggie Stiefvater).

DR Jane does not really read any of the same books that I do, except that she also likes Lisa Gardner.

And you liked the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books ;)

I also read a lot of young adult & youth books though we seem to read different authors-lol

I like paranormal, as in Dean Koontz.

I like dystopia but admit I tend to watch it more than read it.  I've noticed most of your dystopia books are part of a series and, outside of mysteries, trying to avoid series or Chronicles.

I like SciFi and Fantasy and am waiting for the release of the 3rd book in the Kingkiller Chronicles which I can trust Goodreads to alert me when it is released next year.

Oh yes we both did read and love the Girl with the dragon tattoo series.

Yes most dystopias are series, but trilogies. If you read them all back to back it's not really that much (although I usually read them as they come out).

One of these days I will read Wither.  So far my library doesn't have it.

Happy birthday to your dad, Cillaliz. My dad turns 85 next week. Wonderful.

I'm changing the topic shortly.  But notes will post at the usual time, two minutes after midnight CA time.  They're written and scheduled.
