I finished First Impressions, but I liked The Bookman's Tale better. The premise of First Impressions is that the whereabouts of Jane Austen's first draft of Pride & Prejudice, an epistolary novel titled First Impressions, has been discovered. Murder and mystery commence.

I enjoyed it, but The Bookman's Tale is truly wonderful, a mustery with much heart and emotion.

I have moved on to the scandalous Forever Amber.

My first impression? Would this have been written if Gone with the Wind were never published?

Now to find out what is whistling, and why, in the bathroom.

Friday morning greetings! I slept fitfully from 2-5am and feel kind of groggy. May need a nap before I go for a manicure later this afternoon.

Seems the ceiling vent in the shower needed turning, a very easy fix. I am glad we were in the room to see the fix in case it happens again.

Well, both the No. 7 and 11 buses are completely screwed today. Waited over 25 minutes for each of them. At Amsterdam Avenue a lady with the app that gives bus arrival times told me after I'd waited nearly 20 minutes for a No 11 bus that one would arrive in two minutes. And it did, with a NOT IN SERVICE notification, and it passed us.

After another five minutes she said there would be one in 10 minutes, but a No 7 would stop on Broadway in 2 minutes, so I walked over to Broadway, and a No 7 bus passed me by with a NOT IN SERVICE sign. 20 minutes later a No 7 bus picked me up. What the fat hell?

Yesterday, I figured out how I am am going to end my new novel.

This is another story that I've carried around in my head for years, writing a chapter or two, then putting it aside until I figured out what I wanted to do next.

Dialogue is easy. Story is hard.

Congrats on finding your ending, Druxy!

I spent a glorious week on Rhodes, Jane. Just a relaxing time. One of the best meals of my life there. It was a 37-course meze, bites of deliciousness that kept appearing from the kitchen.

Got closer to two weeks on Crete, not including the travel time.

Afternoon greetings, all!

Back from the book sale, which was quite enjoyable. I found a few things here and there, and they had a damned decent record collection to look through and I scored a few things there, too. Unfortunately, every sign directing the populace to the records read:

VINYLS

...for which I must pen a polite but firm letter to the good people at http://www.marktwainlibrary.org/

I picked up a CD of Leonard Bernstein's PETER PAN with Linda Eder, Daniel Narducci, and Alexander Frey, conductor. I hadn't come across this recording before, and don't know what to expect from it, but hey. (Hey!)

An entire week here, lucky you. The problem with cruises is the short amount of time in each location. Without the ship I never would have seen Rhodes

Unfortunately Crete is not on the itinerary. Tomorrow we have all day in Mykonos. I hope we are both well enough to enjoy it and stay late enough to eat dinner there instead of returning to the ship.

I'm up, I'm up - the alarm went off at eleven and then eleven went off at the alarm, just because. That was eight hours of sleep - no ringing telephone this morning.

I like Eder. the research on this recording is pathetic: Hershy Kay is not listed as orchestrator, nor is Trude Rittman for her input. The recorded version of "Dream With Me" is not the simple song sheet BK recorded but the concert arrangement made by Sid Ramin and based on the one in the revue "By Bernstein." There is a full ladies' chorus, not the original mermaid duet, for "Neverland,"the orchestra is larger than the 1950 Broadway one, the Captain Hook is dreadful, and the scholarship about the reconstruction nil.

The Bernstein office should be embarrassed by this.

I have found that many offices are completely unembarrassed by many things DR ELMORE.

Amazon orders for all the OOP stuff I recently listed are coming in - people are finding they can now not have to pay outrageous prices for some cool stuff.
