Taking time for a brief update

I've experienced a thunder storm on the mountain. (See, I told you it was wet...) It was lovely and strangely calming, but if the clouds stick around we may not be able to see Mars tonight. At least we did last night (after looking up online which part of the sky it was supposed to be in, and finding out from Someone Who Knows Directions just which way was southwest [or wherever it was])

Today savetheolives and I went to a fantastic used book, music, and video store. I came out with...well, a lot. Good thing I packed lightly, because my bags will be stuffed going home! But I'm teribly glad I got what I did: a really nice copy of The Way We Live Now (Trollope), the Anne of Green Gables series minus the two books I already had, a wonderful hardcover edition of The Last Battle (Lewis) and some other misc. stuff.

And I started reading Til We Have Faces (Lewis again) this afternoon. I like it a lot! I'm not sure I'm catching all the "hidden" aspects of the story, but I'm not sure most people get them all in the first reading anyway. I'll definintly have to buy it sometime.

Not southwest. Southeast. ;-) Too bad we couldn't see it last night -- at least we got to see it the night before! 'Twas beautiful, eh? :-)

You know what? Now everytime I go to a bookstore and look in the "Christianity" section, I'll positively die laughing. Heheh! :-D
