The forecast said it would feel like 93 today with the humidity, so I didn't leave the house. Friday's 77 degrees sounds much more conducive to garden treks. Instead, I lolled about sketching glass things and reading, acting like I was on vacation. I've just finished The Gun Seller, and I can emphatically recommend it. The pithy writing style coheres with the impression one gets from Hugh Laurie's performances in Jeeves and Wooster and House, and while the eventual outcome is predictable in a general sense (the good guy wins -- so cliché!), the journey to it is twisty and turnsome and that's-definitely-not-what-I-was-expecting-y. Now, I intend to meander down the road for a steak with jicama slaw, possibly followed by a stroll on the beach.
