    Name:

    Not an original title (google it, there are references throughout the internet--we are not a dying breed) but an accurate one. Reading (& knitting) promiscuously keeps my nose clean, my hands busy and my mind off of other preoccupations of modern life.

    Heat Wave....

    First, let me make this clear...I'm not complaining-- (My husband insists that all we gringos do is complain about the weather...in the winter it's too cold and in the summer it's too hot. Well, I'm sorry honey, we don't live in the land of eternal spring where every day is a perfect 70 degrees. ) --but it needs to cool down by about 10 degrees.
    I've finished the back and one sleeve and have moved back to the front on my kids cable sweater. Progress is good...but my wrists have been aching! I also finished A Venom Beneath the Skin by Marcos M. Villatoro which I actually got because it mentioned Guatemala, and although most of the action is in CA, there are some nice regionalisms. I think I need to re-read Francisco Goldman's The Long Night of White Chickens to truly get my fix. Now I'm reading Bad Heir Day by Wendy Holden which I hope to finish today or tomorrow so I can devote my entire beach vacation to Hunger's Brides by Paul Anderson. Ahhh....summer.
