My car arrived back home around 5, "escorted" by the owner's wife in a big, bad, way-high-up pickup. I gave him the ransom, then we all chatted a bit.

I headed for Arby's for supper, and then the Sav-a-Lot for miscellaneous groceries, especially apples. They have good produce--at least the stuff I eat.

I took Blood of the Demon for reading while I ate. As I was about to leave the manager stopped to chat a bit, asked what I was reading, and I ended giving him my copy--first noting what chapter I was on. I'll lay odds that he'll start it tonight.

And I'll dig out another copy and finish it.

I figure that after he reads this one, he'll go buy the previous one. And the sequels.

Today wasn't terribly productive--maybe because I kept going back to the book. But then Time Spent Reading is NEVER Wasted Time.

I plan on going in to work tomorrow, unless the weather turns nasty.

And now to get back to Demons 101.
