As I write this, I haven’t finished packing for my trip. I’m flying to Washington to visit relatives and the taxi is arriving at 6am.

It’s currently 5:30am.

If I had the time I would tell you why you should read Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story by Leonie Swann.

But then I’d probably wind up in Seattle without any underwear.

So I’m going to trust you to realize that any story involving a flock of sheep deciding to solve the mystery of their shepherd’s death is awesome.

Baaah for now,

Megan

This is the best book recommendation I could imagine. And, I’m glad you had time for underwear.

Lovie, I have to say something. Because I love your blog and I am losing years from my life every time I encounter it. Your URI says just that……URI. Shouldn’t it be URL?

Please correct me. I’m so not a techy nerd. I barely know how to log in. Put me in my place. Please.

Baaah humbug! I’m gonna find a better book written from the perspective of fish detectives- now that’d be impressive.

Actually, this sounds awesome. Can I borrow it? :)

Looks like it could be a good book.

Hope you made it to Seattle with all your stuff. :) Hate packing, blah.

Have so much fun in Seattle! I was there for the first time this past spring and loved it. I could live in the Pike Place Market.

Have fun in Seattle!

I will await your return, unconvinced as to the efficacy of sheeply detecting skills.

I thought I was going to be falling into some sort of Phillip Dick thing and the sheep were really going to be replicants.

It would have been better if I’d slept last night, maybe.
