the little black train

Today was, shall we say, variable. Meeting went on about an hour longer than planned, and while necessary, was not desperately interesting. Also, attempted to give blood, and was turned down for an iron count which was perfectly normal but not as high as they like from their donors. On positive side, did get a number of queries sorted, so can feel virtuous on that front.

No, local shop did not have Tatters of the King, but to be frank I'd have been very surprised if they did. It's been reserved.

Spent a while reading Manly Wade Wellman, as John the Balladeer is always good for the mood. Also bought a lottery ticket, which did not win anything. Really, I should have known better.

I heard a voice of warning,
A message from on high,
"Go put your house in order
For thou shalt surely die.
Tell all your friends a long farewell
And get your business right --
The little black train is rolling in
To call for you tonight."

it's all their fault

It is the fault of some of my friends here (such as copperbird and angusabranson) that I've found out Monkey is back and ended up looking at a page of quotes from the old series.

( The nature of Monkey was irrepressable! )
