I am in a state of shock: Wanderlust just closed down. The world has become a little more dark and dreary.

That's all.

Everyone knows the Do-Re-Mi song from the Sound of Music, right? Well, here's a variant we picked up on today's tour....

Do, a beer, a German beer
Re, the guy who serves the drinks
Mi, the one I buy beer for
Fa, a long way to the bar
So.... I think I'll have a beer
La, la la la la la la
Ti? I'd rather have a beer!
That will bring us back to Do!

Almost done. Less than 48 hours to leaving. Saiwe, please be good for Michelle!

I just finished the Firestaff Collection. I have to say, for not being published, they are certainly some of the better works I've read - to be honest, better than most of the recent fantasy currently in print, and certainly better than Eragon or Harry Potter or Mercedes Lackey. This is primarily because the characters, plots, and deus ex machinae are all believable....

You might take a look; they're not too much a waste of time.

Me: (upon seeing a plate of grilled cheese sandwiches stacked two deep and five high) Wow....
Mimi: What's wow? (upon looking over) Wow......
Ha!
