Another One Bites The Dust

I have been driving all day today. After listening to the end of a book, I listened to music on my iPod. And there was Queen with Another One Bites the Dust. Love that song. More than that, it captured my day and recent events. The worst is that Clif and Lynda have been laid off from The Times. Horrible. Clif was the last man standing from our Helpdesk. He took care of all executives and their assistants as well as every Blackberry issue at The Times. Lynda worked 6 days a week to take care of IT Security. Gone. I'm not there to miss them, but it does make me sick.

The book I finished was Twenty Years After, a sequel to The Three Musketeers. Mr. Dumas sure knew how to write a gripping story. All four are back, older and none the wiser. Still strong and clever and impeccable French gentlemen. Their feelings about English people are hilarious. They are involved with everything, sort of like Zelig. Cromwell, Charles I and Louis XIV are all involved. Do you have to know the history of the age to appreciate the book? No. Same with knowing the geography. But it adds to my enjoyment. Really liked the book.

I am in my 49th state tonight; New Hampshire. Another one on that list has officially bitten the dust. However, I have a couple of days to explore what makes New Hampshire unique. So far, I have Shakers and Robert Frost on the list. We'll see what else I can find.
