It’s National Train Day! So hop on board a train and see the world! Well, okay, you might have to take an alternate form of travel to cross the oceans but that’s beside the point. *g* I’ve always had a fascination with train travel. Despite my one train trip when I was a kid which was less than fun. I suspect it’s all those romantic mystery movies from the 30s & 40s. The Thin Man movies, Grand Central Murder, Murder in a Private Car (which I saw just recently), Lady on a Train, The Silk Express, The Lady Vanishes, Rome Express, and then later in 1974 we had the star-studded Murder on the Orient Express.
There’s nothing on TV tonight that I like, so I’ll be catching up on recorded shows. I wonder if I have anything with trains in it….?
Wrote almost another page last night.
Reading: Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris. This is the fourth Sookie Stackhouse book. It’s been awhile since I’ve read it. But the one thing I remember about it was all the lovely Eric hotness. *g*
It’s a gorgeous sunny day here, kids. Predicted high of 77.
Someone asked yesterday if the “Next Big Thing” was a Brisco County Jr. reference. And, you know, I’d forgotten all about that being one of the running gags of the show! How sad. Must get those DVDs one of these days….
So far today, I’ve “inherited” a total of $8.6 million. And the day isn’t over yet!
Tonight on TV, we have Survivor: Blindsided which is really more appropriate than “Backstabbers”, CSI (which was written by the writers from Two and a Half Men which should make it Highly Entertaining), Without a Trace, and Lost.
Wrote another half page last night. And it occurs to me I should mention this book involves crystal skulls. I had a fascination for them long before they started filming the latest Indiana Jones movie. As much as it pains me to admit, I first started this book 13 years ago.
Reading: Last night I read What the Cat Dragged In by Gilbert Morris. This is the first book in another fun inspirational mystery series. It’s about a widow & her son who inherit a beach house but have to share it with the other heir who happens to be a very distant, very hot male relative. And they have to solve a murder before the cops railroad her son.
