Summer is definitely here. It is hot. The dogs go for a shorter walk after work but it is more bang for the buck: we drive to the field and they run loose and are able to jump into ditches. Steve has shooting tonight. I hope to read a bit, per usual. I've found a lovely summer concoction: pear wine mixed with honey dew carbonated water. Fresh and cool.
I had my 30 day review today; things are going well.
Currently reading ARMS OF NEMESIS by Steven Saylor. This is 2nd of 12 featuring Gordianus the Finder, a private investigator in the 1st century BCE in Rome. Here is a summary:
The hideously disfigured body was found in the atrium. The only clues are a blood-soaked cloak,
and, carved into the stone at the corpse's feet, the word Sparta . . . The Overseer of Marcus Crassus's estate has been murdered, apparently by two slaves bent on joining Spartacus's revolt. The wealthy, powerful Crassus vows to honor an ancient law and have his ninety-nine remaining slaves slaughtered in three days. Gordianus the Finder is summoned from Rome by a mysterious client to find out the truth about the murder before the three days are up.
It was published in 1992 and has 336 pages. This is a library book.
Much love,
