The Way of Things, Chapter 32

Peter rubbed his eyes blearily, another long day without Rose done and gone. He’d come home and, after a light supper, had spent a few hours working at the table in the kitchen. After re-reading the same report for the fourth time, he’d given up, moving to stretch out on the sofa. He had a new book he’d been meaning to read for ages, and hoped it ( Read more... )

I'm off to lunch now--food! Sammies!--but I'll start on the second bout of replies when I get back.

I wonder if we can make one of those countdown timers for our profiles that would reset itself at every post time?

I know that it's not too involved to do one that just does a plain countdown, but I don't know that it's possible to cue them to reset themselves. Sadly. I'll look into it, though.

Let's see--this went up super-early, and super-easily, at 7:15am EST this morning.

You mean you actually get Veteran's Day Monday off? One of the benefits of being an actual Fed versus one of the various hangers-on, I suppose.

Post whenever you roll it out. Heaven forbid we interrupt any dreams featuring certain Detective Inspectors or member of the Capitals. Or both. ;P

I actually get Monday off--and I can't wait. My roommate--also a public servant--also has the day off, so I foresee and exciting trip to Einies in our future.

Heaven forbid we interrupt any dreams

Interestingly, the best dream I've had this week involved me playing in the BBC Radio Wales orchestra.

I am such a geek. ;)
