Life as viewed from the skewed perspective of a mystery writer

Gavin, Lee Lofland, Castle, and more

 

     Gavin’s face look less swollen today and he actually stole a Nylabone from Patty to chew on it for a bit.  She was very sweet and let him take it.  I think she’s as glad as we are that he’s feeling better.

     I adore Lee Lofland’s site, The Graveyard Shift.  Heck, I adore Lee.  I met him at a Pennwriters conference.  Last TV season Lee ran a critique of Castle every week—one of my favorite new shows.  He’s started doing a critique of it again this season.  I enjoy his insights and those of the others who comment there.  Having a retired cop in the house, I see (or have them pointed out to me) most of the blips in the crime shows.

     I’ve begun the fall cleaning cycle in my house.  I tackled my desk yesterday and cleared it of an over abundance of crap paper work, magazines, and reference books that I put back in their proper places in the bookcase.  I then dusted and cleaned the entire desk.  Wow, I can see under my monitor now and the glass desk top gleams.  Tomorrow I’ll work on the rest of the living room.

  1. That’s great news about Gavin! My two are keeping their paws crossed for a speedy recovery :)

  2. Watching ‘CSI: Anywhere’ with my genius forensic anthropolgist daugther is like you watching a cop show with your hubby. Try this phrase on him: “Honey, it’s just a tv show, not real life.” It doesn’t work with my daughter. Maybe you’ll have better luck with DH.

    And I agree with you about ‘Castle.’ I am abandoning ‘CSI: Peyton Place’ to watch it instead. But you should hear what my daughter has to say about ‘Castle.’

  3. Cleaning cycles – you mean like more than one a year????? I think I’m still working on the spring cleaning frenzy I started four states ago in 1963!

    Good to hear that Gavin is more the thing today. Hopefully he will complete recover quickly.

    I love Lee’s critiques of Castle so much that I was disappointed when I read that they have made the ME more realistic.

    • Well, since I failed miserably at my spring cleaning I fugured I ought to give a fall cleaning a good try.

      The first thing I said to DH when the ME came on was, “Wow, they’ve made her better.”
