Rottweilers Ate My Laptop

Reading, not writing

by

I spent the evening reading instead of writing since I have an e-book that’s due back to the library in just a couple of days. Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson, combines cryptography, geek culture, and World War II vintage historical fiction into a very long, but still readable and enjoyable mix of past and present stories. I hope I can renew it if I have to. I read pretty fast, but it is really long.

I want to do a proper review of my Sony Reader, now that I’ve been using it regularly for a couple of months. I should also do a full review of Cryptonomicon once I’m done with it since it does fit in both the “Computers” and “World Domination” categories here!

I also have two murder mystery novels to review. Who knew there were not just one, but several, murder mysteries featuring at least one Rottweiler in a non-killing role? Not me, until very recently! Look for my take on Rottweiler Rescue: a mystery for dog lovers by Ellen O’Connell, and Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton in the near future.

Unseasonably warm

by

According to Weatherscan, it’s 69°F right now. This is the latest Indian Summer I can remember. Do we even call it Indian Summer if it’s a few days into November?

Freya did not bring her “A” game to obedience class this morning. As long as she does remember to bring it to the trial next week, I suppose I can’t be too upset about it. After all, class is for working out problems in a controlled environment. Speaking of the trial, I hope there will be no problem with correcting our entry. The confirmation I received showed us entered on Saturday instead of Sunday.

It’s almost time to leave to do another rescue transport. I haven’t done any transports all year, and this is now two consecutive weeks, this time for a young female Rottweiler. I suppose there is some irony that I’m leaving my own Rottweiler home on one of the last sunny and warm days of the years, but it is for a good cause. I can’t feel too bad because tomorrow is supposed to be warm and sunny, too, and I can make it up to Freya then.
