A toast to our namesake
Monday, May 12th, 2008I actually drank a little of Our Daily Red yesterday. Figured it’d be a good luck charm or something. Whatever. Yesterday was Mother’s Day, for those not paying attention to the calendar. Made brunch and dinner. Baked bread. I never bake bread. Yesterday I made an exception. I just had a hankering for fresh, still-warm bread and the ensuing floury, gooey mess left in its wake. Bread (good), wine (also good) and a criminally overcooked London broil (bad). I was afraid my older one, the one with braces, was gonna spring a wire on that Worcestershire-flavored leather. Won’t be doing London broil again. For an extra buck a pound, get something edible.
Random thought
I just noticed a small leak in the adjoining office’s ceiling. There’s a dental office above us, and it sounds like a sink is the source of the leak, judging from the sound of running water overhead and the gentle tap - tap- tapping of the occasionally falling drops.
Random thought II
Just heard our office suite was burgled over the weekend. Apparently nothing was taken. They must’ve been looking for some drugs, came to the wrong floor. Memo to burglars: Go upstairs for the Novocaine. You might have gathered by now that we are not housed in the penthouse suite. True, but we can’t complain about the price.
It occurs to me that nothing in this post has anything remotely to do with books. Slow news day. OK, here’s a feeble attempt: In anticipation of the summer release of “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” read “Inside Prince Caspian” for all the inside dope on the book, the movie, the wardrobe. Then, at the movie debut, you can annoy half the people in the theater by telling friends what happens next and why Lucy would do such a thing. I actually thought the first movie was pretty decent, especially for kiddie fare. If you had to sit through “Epic Movie,” you understand my baseline for ratings.
