New verse:

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Collars, that is.
I'm up past my bedtime.
Think I'll call it a night....there's only so much hurricane coverage I can take.
I always thought he looked a little like Bob Dylan.
It's a romance ... the male heroes are unbelievable by definition, and the sex must be overdone!
(Though, I swear, those two go after it like it's going out of style ...!)
But don't you like Roarke a little better since reading Vengance? It humanized him a bit ... and, hey, Vengance is the first appearance of McNab, who's just a doll!
If you somehow get your hands on any of the "blue lady" covers of the first few (up through Holiday, as I recall), hang onto them ... they're worth two or three times cover price, I believe, over on eBay.
Don't miss the short stories, and the novella Remember When, written by Nora Roberts and J. D. Robb.
And, just so you know, the newest novel, Memory In Death, comes out in January. One of the best things about the series is the twice-a-year publication schedule!
Do any of you know of a freeper "my_backyard" and how she's faring in south Texas?
Yes, we know her, but she hasn't posted here in a while. her last post on FR was the 22nd:
Word For The Day, Wednesday, September 21, 2005 - coquetry Posted by My back yard to Argh On General/Chat 09/22/2005 1:06:44 AM CDT · 145 of 159Best of luck to all my Texas buddies and their loved ones.
Thanks.
LOL - must be why I avoid romance novels! And I was told these were mysteries. :P Oh well. Anyhoo, Barnes & Noble is one of my errands today. Will get the next three to tide me over until Wed when I'll got to B&N in Las Cruces, NM to tide me over for my trip.
We saw that a couple evenings ago. I thought it was well done and really enjoyed it. Big'ol isn't as silly as I am and isn't as fond of British humor and so he found it rather dull.
Making coffee
Morning ~sip~
Got coffee, fried egg, liver pudding, and biscuits.
~sip~
Making Ramen :(
May throw an egg in it :|
Probably not.
Mmmm.....liver pudding...slabs fried....crisp on the outside, squishy on the inside...
For breakfast? I thought I was strange liking enchiladas for breakfast.
Hmmm, come to think of it, enchiladas would hit the spot.
Mmmm.... enchiladas.
Liver pudding? Does that really exist?
Finished my morning walk through the Shire.
Bushytails are out in force...Awake! Fear! Fire! Foes!
Morning OT, indeed they are. They've been cutting on the shingle oak again and I'm about to head out with bucket to retrieve said cutting from all over the front lawn.
The octoberfest is in town, complete with carnies. sigh. But that's the end of the 'festival season till next may/june and that's a good thing. Litter, debris and debitage are well within acceptable limits given the 'hugh' numbers of folks that were in attendance over the last two nights.
