Very good morning.

Only 3 weeks left to work before I retire now. I can't wait. This last week was horrible. So much stupidity, so many people screwing up my test caes and then asking me to fix them. BLEAGH

I finished reading the library book Against the Tide by John Ringo. Sci/Fi very good

I finished reading the library book Tail Spin by Catherine Coulter. Romance/Mystery very good

I finished reading the library book Fearless Fourteen. Mystery. I liked this but I didn't think it was as good or as funny as many of the others in this series.

I finished reading The Tangled Web by Anne Bishop. Sci/Fi. Excellent. I love these books by this author. Very well written and the characters make you care about each of them a lot.
