Then I walked to the bank and transferred to the business account, so that's done. So, send more of those excellent vibes and xylophones that tomorrow works equally smoothly. If it does, I can pay in full. Either way, I'm going there tomorrow to do all the paperwork.

TOD:

As of yesterday, I had read 166 books this year. Here are a few of the favorites:

Directed By, by BK
Held, by Anne Michaels
James, by Percival Everett
Girl, by Edna O’Brien
The Magic Mountain, by Mann
The Three Musketeers, by Dumas
Intermezzo, by Sally Roonry
The Empusium, by Olga Tokarczak
Dandelion Wine, by Bradberry
Highland Fling, by Nancy Mitford
Consider the Fork, by Bee Wilson
The Origin of Species, by Darwin

I would expect your numbers to be in the top 10 percent, not mine.

Was this your first time reading The Three Musketeers?

A few of these are on my to read list.

Probably the first unabridged version of it. I think the one I read back in fifth grade wss shorter.

Staying with my daughter for the 4th night in a row, thus not sleeping particularly well. She just got up to vomit a little. Now back asleep.

Oh, no!

At last! One I read but forgot. I did enjoy it, too: Directed By.

I've only finished three books this in 2024.  The aforementioned Directed By, Kritzer World (finished January 3rd), and Don Quxote.

First is a funeral mass for Rosemary Kowalski, who died last week at 100. She was a caterer who made a huge impact back in 1968 when the World’s Fair was here. She stayed active up to the end. Sweet woman.

Wow...100!  That's amazing!

When I got up, I had a text saying payment one was ready to be retrieved - they apparently picked up the car pieces last night.

Yay!

Shorter or not, I expect your perspective between the ages is different.

They make me think of being at really old people’s homes in the 1970s. Often you’d be offered a candy and go to pick one and get a sticky glob of 26.
