Final Target ...

I have been reading Iris Johansen’s book Final Target. The book is shorter than her regular books and is not part of a series but it does have some characters from some of her other books. Sean Galen is in this book. He also appears in some of the Eve Duncan series of books as well as some of the other series. The thing I find most off putting about the Iris Johansen books is that I can never tell if I am reading them out of order.

The books are good reads and are entertaining. I like her characters. I don’t like that her female characters always end up in danger because they didn’t listen to the male characters. We get it, she’s a strong independent woman and she is not gonna take any crap from anyone but many times these are women who are inexperienced in dealing with the nefarious villains of Iris’ books. This book also has a couple of those moments. But I do enjoy reading the books, they are entertaining. I think we have another non-series book at the house. I though have taken it with me. There are only so many podcasts I can watch while sitting in the airport.

I am not saying anything about women being the gentler sex and all that I am just relaying what I have observed in many of the books.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
