Doh!

It is just becoming difficult to post. I don't know what it is about getting off work at 5 instead of 4:30 but it just blows my schedule in the evening out of the water. Tonight I had to --- had to -- get groceries. I didn't get home until quarter to 7. Then unloading Moby and putting away all the stuff. No time to walk the dogs now because there's a storm a-brewing. Big wind. Still need to have dinner (salad). I hope Steve gets home soon from shooting because there's no way they can keep shooting in these gusts. Plus the last game of the Stanley Cup is going on so he'd much rather watch that.

I had lunch today with Tami. It was simply brilliant to see her and chat. I hadn't seen her since her wedding.

Currently reading BURIED SECRETS by Joseph Finder. This is an advanced reading copy that the author sent. This is 2nd of 2 in series featuring Nick Heller, ex-Special Forces, now an international security consultant. Here's a summary:

Nick has returned to his old home town of Boston to set up his own shop. There he’s urgently summoned by an old family friend. Hedge fund titan Marshall Marcus desperately needs Nick’s help. His teenaged daughter, Alexa, has just been kidnapped. Her abduction was clearly a sophisticated professional job, done with extraordinary precision. Alexa, whom Nick has known since she was young, is now buried alive, held prisoner in an underground crypt, a camera trained on her, her suffering streaming live over the internet. She’s been left with a limited supply of food and water and, if her father doesn’t meet the demands of her shadowy kidnappers, she’ll die. And as Nick begins to probe, he discovers that all is not quite right with Marshall Marcus’s business. He’s being investigated by the FBI, he has a lot of shady investors, his fund is in danger and now he has a lot of powerful enemies who may have the motivation to go after Marcus’s daughter. But to find out who’s holding Alexa Marcus hostage, Nick has to find out why. Once he does, he uncovers an astonishing conspiracy that reaches far beyond anything he could have imagined. And if he’s going to find Alexa in time, he will have to flush out and confront some of his deadliest opponents ever.

It will be released next week and has 400 pages.

Gotta go put my salad together. Have a lovely evening...

Much love
