2. Speaking of dates, I am attending PALAC wine tasting on 5/15 and 7/24. I know that doesn't mean anything to most people, but that is my sister's and my brother's birthdays. Nice to know I will be eating and drinking with good people while thinking of a couple of dear people.
3. I'm listening to Master and Commander. Yes, it was a movie some time ago. Yes, it's a pretty old book, but it was on sale. I'm enjoying it immensely. This is the first book in a long series.. The author, Patrick O'Brien, takes a long time to explain how the schooner works, what the Maritime traditions are in England, everything. And I'm glad he does. I just can't get my bil, Peter, out of my mind. He loves to sail. So the Commander in the book looks like him. I know he will not be hurt because he is the Commander for a long time. Yea, Peter.
4. Mark and Trina, mostly Trina, are having difficulties with the pregnancy that will result in a lovely new great nephew. She is in good hands at a local hospital and there she will stay until the young one finally shows up. We are all hoping that won't happen until May. Fingers crossed, everyone, and if you pray, please do so.
Thanks.

oh, Master and Commander! My father love love loved that series. I think he read it from beginning to end about 4 times. And I got him all of the books that went with it. There was a guide to all of the boating terms, a history of nautical history, and a whole book of maps from that time.
anyway, I am glad that you are enjoying them, too. I have not yet tried to read them. Is the person who is reading them good? I think I could get on board if I were doing an audio book....
You should try it. I'm in your boat. It takes a good reader to draw me in. Done. Still don't know if I will pursue this. So much to read, so much time. Still.
It's nice that it would give you an attachment to your Dad. That might help me look for book two.
