I am currently home sick, with enough downtime that I can actually muster the wherewithal to write something. We’ve been watching Iris a few days a week, which isn’t too strenuous but nothing else gets done when she’s here, so the rest of the week is compressed, etc, etc. Not much to write about lately anyway. No good news anyway — global warming is reaching the “find out” phase here, but that’s just too depressing to write about.
Meantime, I finally picked up the first book of the “Wheel of Time” series, The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. John R and Matt I are both reading the series, and both recommended it, so I e-borrowed it from the library. It’s fantasy, which is not my thing, I’m having trouble deciding if different aspects of the story are required tropes in the genre, or just plain derivative, and it reads like it was written for children, but I read 600 of almost 800 pages since Friday, so it must have something going for it…
