Indulging in a little "just wow"...
Aug. 25th, 2013 08:28 pmAlthough the OTC stuff I took to address recent allergy symptoms did alleviate some of what was going on, yesterday was spent mostly sleeping, "supervising" installation of new counter-tops in the kitchen ("Hey, guys, how're things going?"), and reading Killing the Blues, which I bought from the bargain pile at Barnes & Noble.
The font size of the book's title is only slightly larger than that of the author's name (Michael Brandman), and both are dwarfed by the name of the late Robert B. Parker, which is positioned at the top of the dust jacket. The book is, after all, a Jesse Stone novel and while Parker's name is certainly a draw (it caught my attention), I wonder just how long that particular cow can be milked, even if—as seemed to me to be the case with this book—it had a solid Parker-like heft to it.
A translation item originally requested for tomorrow morning and then moved up to "before the end of the day today" was completed and sent by mid-afternoon and served as an interesting warm-up for someone who hasn't seriously tickled a keyboard for several days, much less done any translation.
The first thing to be done tomorrow is to compile the to-do list from Hades, as there are both a number of housekeeping items and a number of vital issues that may well reach critical mass before too much of the week passes. In the meantime, another night of sound sleep will, I think, do me a world of good.
