We sat in the plane on the Tarmac in Houston for nearly two hours in the rain before we were cleared to take off. We landed a little over an hour late at Heathrow on Thursday morning and still made our Aer Lingus flight to Dublin. We arrived in a misty rain and have been in one for the better part of our stay.
We’ve had fun anyway!
I’ve always loved Stephen King…a few of his works confounded and confused me, like The Gunslinger series…but from Carrie onward, I have loved Stephen King. Carrie was released a year after I graduated from high school and I have been a loyal reader ever since then.
“Just After Sunset” has sat beside my monitor for months. Don’t even recall where I bought it. I picked it up the other day and was delighted to find a collection of short stories. Gotta love a good short story…for one thing, they’re SHORT.
There are times you just need a bit of a break, and a short story is the way I go when I can. It can take the place of a cigarette (my only real “life regret”), give you a moment to yourself, and enlighten you to new things and ideas in a concise manner. Being able to put it down and pick it back up without having to remember where you were in the story is a wonderful thing!
Rigo and I would replay "Driving Miss Daisy"…I hate driving, and rarely leave home except for the grocery store or to travel to the airport on my way out of the country.
