I can't see you

Just not enough time to get things done. Steve didn't get home last night until 8 because a job went late. Tonight he has a board meeting so it was a rush to get the dogs walked and then make dinner before he had to leave.

I ... am just tired. I'll clean up some email and so forth. The boys are bugging me to go out front but they've already been on their walk.

There's a storm coming in and the wind is picking up.

I need to run some shopping errands but now won't be able to get to it until Thursday.

Curently reading IN THE SHADOW OF GOTHAM by Stephanie Pintoff. It is 1st of 3 in series featuring Simon Ziele, a former New York City police detective starting in 1905 Dobson, Westchester County, New York. Here is a summary:

Dobson, New York, 1905.Detective Simon Ziele lost his fiancée in the General Slocum ferry disaster—a thousand perished on that summer day in 1904 when an onboard fire burned the boat down in the waters of the East River. Still reeling from the tragedy, Ziele transferred to a police department north of New York, to escape the city and all the memories it conjured. But only a few months into his new life in a quiet country town, he’s faced with the most shocking homicide of his career to date: Young Sarah Wingate has been brutally murdered in her own bedroom in the middle of an otherwise calm and quiet winter afternoon. After just one day of investigation, Simon’s contacted by Columbia University’s noted criminologist Alistair Sinclair, who offers a startling claim about one of his patients, Michael Fromley—that the facts of the murder bear an uncanny resemblance to Fromley’s deranged mutterings.But what would have led Fromley, with his history of violent behavior and brutal fantasies, to seek out Sarah, a notable mathematics student and a proper young lady who has little in common with his previous targets? Is Fromley really a murderer, or is someone mimicking him?This is what Simon Ziele must find out, with the help of the brilliant but self-interested Alistair Sinclair—before the
killer strikes again.

It was published in 2009, won an Edgar Award and nominated for others, and has 400 pages. This is a library book.
