A few years ago, I read a fun novel called Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors, which took Austen and put her in an Indian setting. Now I'm listening to the sequel, Recipe for Persuasion, which focuses on a minor character from the first novel. It's not too much like Persuasion. It's it's own work. And it's really enjoyable.

Watched the Red Riding trilogy, which I finally located in the garage. It's very dark but satisfying in the end. The first time I watched it it was occasionally like watching a foreign film due to the heavy Yorkshire accents - this time I was smart and turned on the subtitles. When I first watched it I didn't know who the lead was in the first movie - now I do: Andrew Garfield. Jim Carter is also in it (he of Downton Abbey), and a few other actors who are known. My favorite performance is by Paddy Considine, and actor I don't know at all - he has a real Dirk Bogarde vibe to him. Superb. More in the notes.

Well, the dance event went well.  People were masked and no one complained.

It lasted a little over an hour and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I was going to drive through the west side Wendy's.  However, when I got there, they had a sign on their ordering kiosk saying that some equipment malfunctioned, but that they'd be open at 8:30 the next morning.

I certainly wasn't going to wait that long, nor get there that early, so I decided to go to the Subway in Tumwater that's closest to my house.

I'm there now enjoying my diet Coke after eating half a meatball marinara sub sandwich.

Now, I'm going to continue to enjoy my diet Coke and read my Kindle in the very pleasantly air conditioned Subway restaurant, until I'm ready to head back out into the heat o' the sun (a The Frogs reference...among others ;) ) and go home.

If I'm still not ready, I could walk around Fred Meyer for a while, too.

It's still pretty warm in my bedroom, but it's cooling as the sun has now sunk below the horizon.
