It's pretty cool to see a book that's not going to be published for several months, and be able to read it before pretty much anyone else.

I would think so, only you didn't do it in this situation

No, not this time. Too many other things going on.

Then I think it was a good idea to wait to read it. It shifts between five characters, two of whom shift between time lines in their lives, and a sixth story on top of it. Ones of the stories adds a sci-fi touch as it takes place in the future on a space ship. Two of the characters have a parallel story in the 1400's in Constantinople.

It sounds more confusing than it is, and I am enjoying the book.

TOD - I’m not much interested in getting on an airplane anytime soon, but, if I did, I’d go to Florida to visit my niece in her new home.

Just realized I didn't read today's Notes. Had better get on that, pronto!

I was imagining a covid free world. We don't want to get on a plane to see Freyja and won't be flying to Craig. He won't get on a plane to fly to us.

I told my boss yesterday that after my vacation at the end of the month, I still had three weeks left. I asked if I should take a day or two every week through the rest of the year. She said we’ll talk Wednesday.

Wow, does this mean you need to use it or lose it?

We're moving to that at the end of next year. I don't really know how that will work going from this year to the next, though.

If you're tired of trying to distinguish between "affect" and "effect," just use "ǽffect."

Works for me.

It is ǽffected, to be sure.

Had a nice night of dancing. Not too many people, but they seemed to enjoy themselves.

I made a cheese dip that was rather interesting. You mix mozzarella, sour cream and cream cheese together and baked it with squash, spinach, 6 cloves of garlic, rosemary and thyme. Very low carb. And delicious.

No nibbles yet on Mom's house. Been on the market for a month now. I know it's after the home buying season, but still. There's an open house, so here's hoping.

Started a fascinating book today called The Library Book by Susan Orlean. It's largely a history of the Los Angeles Public Library using the horrific fire as a launch.

I hadn't read any of her other books, but this one makes me want to. I know of The Orchid Thief, but more from the movie Adaptation than the book itself.

What's your favorite Willie Nelson song?

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** October 09, 2021, 08:31:01 PM »

I would have to say Crazy, which is in a class by itself. But I also like On the Road Again and Whiskey River.

The music is what I'm enjoying most about Honeysuckle Rose. The script is one big long cliche, and not an interesting cliche at that. But the direction is interest, and Willie's low-key charm is winning.
