Peek-a-boo!


This little lady showed up outside our kitchen window as were making dinner last night. She seemed completely unimpressed with us, and wandered around for quite a while before joining her friend in a lovely lie-down in the neighbors' backyard. Between the deer and the alley cats, we're practically living in Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom!

Last night at nine o' clock, Letterlady and I shut down the laptops and indulged in three hours of crime dramas on TV. We felt extremely decadent and thought that after six straight days of 10-12 hours a day of writing, we had earned the right to some formulaic dialogue, spiced up with melodramatic line readings. But by the end of two episodes of CSI Miami, I wanted to take David Caruso to my chiropractor for an adjustment. Does the man EVER straighten out his head? My neck is stiff just thinking about it.

I completed two more chapters today, finally arriving at Persephone's penultimate show-down with Hades. (Thanks, Ramon, for the info about double-barreled shot guns.) Unfortunately, it comes too late because she's going to fail the rabbit test and then where will she be?

Tomorrow, Eurydice may just elope in Las Vegas. We'll see how far we get...
