Beautiful sunny day today. Just took the dog for a long, long walk.

Dan is off in Ohio with Steven, and I am home with Bill. I will offer to take him out to lunch in a few minutes...

Have been reading the Sally Lockhart trilogy by Phillip Pullman, about a spunky young woman back in Victorian England. Am enjoying them, as a combination of the spunky main character and the various business intrigues, etc. that she encounters.
