Are you on the computer AGAIN?


Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Peeking Between The Pages found at http://peekingbetweenthepages.blogspot.com/.


Jumping the reading queue today, because I just picked it up from the library, is SAND SHARKS by Margaret Maron. This is 15th of 15 in series featuring Deborah Knott, district judge in North Carolina. Here's a description:


When Judge Deborah Knott travels to Wrightsville Beach for a summer conference for North Carolina District Court Judges, she stumbles upon the body of one of her colleagues. Meanwhile, Deborah's husband, Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant, is in Virginia with his son, tying up loose ends left by the death of his first wife. When another judge is found murdered at the conference, it soon becomes evident that Deborah may be the killer's next target. Her relaxing trip to the seaside soon transforms into a harrowing experience, and she must summon all of her strength and investigative expertise to track down the culprit before she becomes the next victim.

It was published this month and has 304 pages. I always enjoy visiting Judge Deborah and her large Southern family.


Ran some more errands today and the leg is feeling okay. Got my hair trimmed and I'm liking it better. Phew! If your hair isn't right, you just don't feel right, you know what I mean?


Steve has shooting tonight -- though he'd love to stay home and play his new computer game -- and I will probably read.


Don't you hate it when you're driving around, doing your errands, listening to the radio which is playing okay songs but right when you pull into the parking lot of the place you need to be at a very good song just starts? Like Pink Floyd's How I Wish You Where Here. Excellent song. It's like it KNOWS you can't spend three minutes sitting there listening because you have an appointment. Another radio situation: hearing a song that instantly transports you back in time. Today it was Purple Rain by Prince (as he was known then). Totally put me back to high school, seeing the movie in the theatre with my friend, and that pretty amazing soundtrack. Always thought he was rather slimey but that moment in time was classic.


Don't have any plans for tomorrow and have to hit the post office on Friday.


Much love,
