I need books to read! For the past few years I have been reading a few different fantasy series. Long fantasy series. The Drizzt series by R. A. Salvatore, The Change series by S. M. Stirling, the Shannara series by Terry Brooks, etc. Trouble is I've read everything published to date. Now I'm waiting for the next books in each series to come out. They're all coming out in the fall! What am I supposed to read in the meantime? Seriously! I'm so desperate that I searched my amply stocked bookshelves and actually read "Wuthering Heights"! And then "Thornbirds." I absolutely refuse to read my daughter's vampire books. So I decided to reread the Harry Potter series for the umpteenth time. That should keep me busy for a couple of weeks anyway.
Right this second I am installing the Office 2010 beta. It's good until October, at which time I can decide to buy it or not. Probably will, since I'm using 2003 now. My Windows 7 upgrade is on its way via UPS Ground. I will be glad to get rid of Vista.
My son Benton was on MSNBC day before yesterday wearing an oil barrel. Ummm. It was pretty funny, actually.
My next door neighbor has a wonderful service dog named Kiyah. She is the sweetest, most well-behaved dog I've ever known. I've spent a lot of time with her and love her lots. During the past few weeks, she started to get sick a lot, couldn't keep her food down, and was losing weight until she is just skin and bones. Last week, the vet told my neighbor that Kiyah has inoperable intestinal cancer. I have never been around an animal that was dying before. When I was a kid, our pets always died suddenly, usually by being hit by cars. It's really hard watching Kiyah now. I hope she's not suffering. She sleeps a lot. I will miss her terribly when she's gone.
