UPS

The nice man from UPS just stopped by. I didn't hear him ring the bell, but it set the dogs off, so I ran to the door. As I picked up the package, he waved from the truck and called, "Thanks, man!" I shouted back my thanks. (I'm not sure why he thanks me, but what the heck. Life is enriched.)

In the package: DVDs of "Babylon 5" season 5 and "Buffy" season 6, plus In the Bleak Midwinter (a mystery by Julia Spencer-Fleming, recommended by, among others, hornedhopper), Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (the title is a reference to a joke about a gun-toting panda), Brief Lives (volume 7 of the Sandman series), and Space in Language and Cognition: Explorations in Cognitive Diversity (I still dabble in linguistics). Also on its way from Amazon via the USPS is Barnes' A Million Open Doors.

I think the "what shall I do this weekend" question has been partly answered...

Oh, cool! You'll have to let me know what you think of Rev. Clare Fergusson and Russ Van Alstyne. I really love the characters.

Oh, yes, yes, yes please, one of your reviews! This is also my newest must-have author (and she seems to be turning out a new novel every year, so far... a quicker pace than our top must-have author!).
