It's moderately lazy Sunday here.

I'm rereading the Sherlock Holmes books, all in one handy volume. Then I'm going to tackle some of the later takes on Doyle's characters.  I've got the latest Mary Russell book to pick up and one of Michael Kurland's anthologies.  Then there is Jeremy Brett.

I think I must be sick or something because I have barely felt like eating chocolate  or sugar for the last month.  I can remember this happening only once before when I was sick.  But I'm not this time and so I am confused.

I know there are people whose checks are written in the order they are pulled from the checkpad and in their banking records ( Read more... )
