Four!

[John G.]

Page four? Really?

[FJL]

As was the case with last year, I'm really not sure what I want to write in 2018.  Thrill Ride came to me very late in the year, mid-December, so hopefully that will be the case.  I do have another Adriana Hofstetter book story that I can do - have had that for some time but I do enjoy going to new territory so we'll see what transpires.

Thank you. I was wondering this myself and was going to wait until Wednesday to ask.

BK - How about writing another play in 2018?

Jane, your book sounds interesting, but I think it's the type I'd rather listen to, so I'll have to put it on my list. Right now, I'm listening to the latest Girl book, The Girl Who Took an Eye for an Eye, and Manhattan Beach. I also have Jesmyn Ward's Sing, Unburied, Sing, which is a little depressing.

[Jane]

I think I need some ice cream.

I was not going to have any today, that was my plan anyway.

The best laid plans of ice cream and man ...

I have no plans to read this since Stieg Larsson did not write it.  I will be curious of your opinion.

[Jane]

Oh, and I did a sample listen to the book I read and preferred reading it.

  Once it is gone I won't buy anymore before we leave.

No more treats for me tonight, unless Keith pops corn but he did that last night.

I skipped the last one, which Larsson also didn't write. I'm enjoying this one, but it's nowhere near as great as the first three.

My mom has continued reading the series. But I sort of feel how you do and have not read any of the extra books since he died.  I really loved the original series.

I have tried to get into audiobooks. But I dislike them immensely.  I was doing a reading challenge and one of the items was an audiobook.  I ended up doing a shorter book that I had already read.  I think I could maybe get into an audiobook if it was for a favorite author/favorite book/excellent narrator. But for a story that I don't know ... my mind just wanders. I tried one because that narrator was actor Steven Webber.  But I could not get into at all. And I could barely understand what was happening (there were a bunch of 3rd person narrators).

Good evening.

Said he, who could not be more tired and broken than right now following twelve hours of ALLERGY-RIDDEN sitz-probing and tech-rehearsing.

Oh, wait -- did I mention ALLERGY-RIDDEN?

[bk]

I gotta tell you.

[ChasSmith]

BK:  When I read the short story book a few years back, I wanted so much for you to write more short stories.  I know that isn't your standard thing, but I really thought they were fine pieces.

Someone also said another play.  That would be fun, as well.  I do like the idea of mixing it up.  But hell, I'm fine with another Hofstetter if it's time to pull that one out of the trunk.

Watched an interesting documentary on John Coltrane.

I have a lot of friends who can't stand them either. To each his or her own.

I prefer to curl up with a book, but, in my case, there's not enough time for that.

I took a break from Othello in order to read. I've started Maugham's Christmas Holiday. I'm enjoying the story very much, though the writing style in this case is very dated.

[John G.]

I'm back to Othello and while I can't disagree with the interpretation, Olivier's Othello as cry baby is a bit irritating. It's no wonder this Othello falls into epileptic fits. But I don't like the tantrums and incessant weeping.

[ChasSmith]

None of my former houses is completely horrendous to see now, except --

The one my parents owned in Terrace Park (just outside of Cincinnati) in the 1970s and 1980s was not demolished for a McMansion.  It was MADE INTO a McMansion, and, like BK's former house, the entrance is on a different side.  And the resulting lopsidedness is only one of its problems.
 Everything about it is just awkward and wrong.  It's the only one of our former dwellings that is painful to see now.

Thank you.  It's approaching now, in the guise of The Two B's:  Benadryl and Bourbon.

[ChasSmith]

Not necessarily in that order.

An excellent prescription in my book.

Good night, all.
