Just thought you might be interested to know that the Holocaust memoir that I proofread last summer is in print now. Here is the Amazon link, though I know you will buy it from your local independent bookseller. If you find a typo in it please be kind enough not to not tell me.

The Collector
Yet another non-literary post from so-called Bookworm.
I took our dog to the vet yesterday morning to have a growth removed from her front leg. It was a small, benign growth; the main reason for removing it was because it itched and because if we didn’t remove it, it could, possibly, turn into something bad.

Happy 50th wedding anniversary to my tenth grade geometry teacher. Judging from the photo he’s still got the same toupee.
Apparently there’s going to be a revival of Inherit the Wind on Broadway, with Christopher Plummer as Clarence Darrow. What I wouldn’t give to see it!
Anxiety dream
The night before last I had a very vivid dream featuring one of my favorite clients. No, we’ve never met in person, but we’ve talked on the phone and I’ve seen her photo, and she was very present and very realistic in my dream. So, anyway, I dreamed that my job was to be in charge of her bassoon — her bassoon whose appraisal value was THREE MILLION DOLLARS. And I had the bassoon in this cheap hotel room along with all three kids, who were tearing the place apart, and they scratched the bassoon a couple of times and Kristy was getting rightfully pissed off and it was very stressful.
Rainy day
So, all the kids are at school this morning and I have the house to myself. I have a ton of stuff to do: lay out a newsletter, make some phone calls, write up a contract, finish a draft website, start work on a flyer. However, it is pouring, pouring rain, and judging by my dog’s frantic panting, there’s thunder in the offing. Therefore I really shouldn’t work on my computer because even though it’s plugged into a surge protector, well, you never know.
What’s for tea, mum? Part 2
A few weeks ago I briefly alluded to a non-fiction book I was reading, The China Study. At the time I said it deserved its own post, and here it is.
