…and he looked very Continental
Hoody Hoo! I’m getting Friday off work, which gives me a 4 day weekend. For those of you who have never worked in the food service industry, this is pretty much a miracle. Actually, it’s more of a sign of the economic times, but what the fuck…I get a long weekend!
Of course, since My Sweet Little Pygmy Pony Of Love and I don’t have much disposable income (partly due to the irresistable temptations of last weekends ASPCA Fall Book Sale)…and Thursday is all about cooking & eating this years German themed (and Grace prepared) UnTurkey Day meal…and there are chores (including FINALLY washing these dirty doggies) & homework to be done…and gas is $3.29 a gallon at the cheap stations…well, I reckon we’ll mostly be house mice for the whole 4 days.
Still, there will be eating and drinking and smooching and playin’ with pooches and watching some of our humongous backlog of recorded video and a bit of gardening and sleeping in and more smooching, so it should still be fun.
In other news, that ASPCA book sale I mentioned above was heavy on mystery, cookbooks and contemporary fiction. There was some sci fi/fantasy, but we were told that there’d be more (plus pet/animal and gardening books) at the Spring Sale. Anyway, Grace plundered the sci fi section, I picked up a near complete set of the Solar Pons reprints & a mystery featuring a basset hound (Howling Bloody Murder) and we both loaded up a sack full of cookbooks. I swear, library/charity booksales will put us in the poorhouse.
And now, I must walk The Girls and then head off to work. More of this blog thing later.

The Solar Pons stories are pretty good. Which paperback reprints did you get?
::B::
I got the 1970’s Pinnacle reprints. I’m still missing #1, 7 & 9.
Sometime in mid to late December, Grace and I will be hitting some used book stores in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I hope to find some other pulp reprints.
