Am reading (well, audio reading which means my female offspring would have me say "reading") Walter Kirn's "Up in the Air" which has been made into a movie starring George Clooney and which seems light-hearted and cheery if you watch the trailers or looked at the cover (which would mean you were judging a book by its cover which I'm sure us good guys would never ever do) but which is a dark and gloomy and nasty story about dark and gloomy and nasty people whose lives are on a dark and gloomy and nasty path to a collision with each other that sure seems as if it's going to make everyone's lives even more dark and gloomy and nasty; I hope I'm wrong; I wish I could stop "reading" but I'm hooked now since I'm halfway through.

    But you were doing so well, don't give up now. I wasn't sure whether to comment on any of them, would sort of take away from it being one sentence would it not?

    No - you can comment! That would keep me awake at least!!! I think I have to lower my expectations of what each day will be. It's just one sentence, one observation a day. Repeat after me....

    By the way, have you read Orwell's Coming Up For Air? One of those quiet books that sticks with you for life.
