It loves my sunny cottage

Monday and not
much to report. Mondays are always kind of low-key for me. I seem to spend most
of the day on small things—emails, marketing details (still recovering from all
the nice coverage yesterday), and the like.
Dinner tonight
with friend Carol at a local “upscale” (does that mean not Tex-Mex?) Mexican
restaurant. I had brisket tacos that were really good and cautiously ate just a
few bites of the black beans. I love them, but they don’t love me. Carol is
just back from almost two weeks in Hawaii, so it was fun to hear about that and
the hulu dancing competition they went to. She brought me a T-shirt that says, “At
my age I need glasses”—and has pictures of several wine glasses. The remarkable
thing about the sort of purple/maroon shirt is that it is wine-dyed. Carol
advised, and I agree, washing it separately the first time. She said she didn’t
know why wine-related things always made her think of me, and I said it did: it’s
because I like wine.
Finished a good book
tonight: A Reckoning in the Back Country,
by Terry Shames. Terry’s series features an overage sheriff in Texas—everything
your typical mystery hero is not. He’s wise, morally complex, an art collector,
an animal lover. In short, a fascinating character. He tells his stories in first-person,
present tense—a challenge to any author. And he does it with such sly wit and
insight that you can’t help but be drawn in. This one is the seventh in the
series, but I suggest you begin with any of them.
And that is my
story for the day, other than that the weather surprised me. I thought it might
get to the seventies, and all of a sudden, it was in the eighties. Good ole
Texas!
Have a good night and
a happy Tuesday.
