Forgot to mention. Another reason it's a great day.
On my way home from the run, I stopped by Half-Price Books to do some Christmas shopping. Got some great stuff, as always. But one real treasure. For me. An unabridged audiobook of Bret Harte's The Outcasts of Poker Flat & Other Stories.
Bret Harte is one of my favorites. The Outcasts of Poker Flat is the best known of his stories, I imagine, and it is a good one. For my money, though, The Luck of Roaring Camp is the best. Anyone who can read The Luck and not shed a tear simply has no heart. So when I saw that book on CD right there in front of me, I knew it was a special day.
I just hope I like the readers. I'll let you know....
