The family is in New Hampshire. We are watching the Red Sox, laughing hysterically over various stupid jokes (“They’ll sell like hot cakes. Hot stinky cakes!!”), marveling at Lucy in her ruffled bathing suit and floppy sun hat, hanging out and reading and doing crossword puzzles, and last night we got a sneak preview of Cashel’s zombie movie that he directed, called Vault. It stars all of his friends, and includes such lines as: “I am a skilled physician”, “It’s just a personnel check, no need for alarm”, “The horde is coming over the hill” and “Stop trippin’, man.” Just like a good zombie movie should have. I changed the header, as you can see. That’s the opposite shore of the lake. Through the looking glass.
I finished Benjamin Black’s The Silver Swan, sequel to the wonderful Christine Falls. Ah, John Banville, I love you so.
So jealous. Jealous, jealous, jealous.
You’ve made it here just in time for the heat wave. If you pass through Contoocook village, you’re welcome to stop by for a cup of strong coffee.
Where in NH? I’M in NH, too!!!! Where’s Kevin Bacon when you need him? Ha!
Gorgeous!! Hope you’re having a wonderful time!
You and my little sister both have great timing for fleeing the New York area. She arrived here this past weekend and while it has been a bit humid, it isn’t close to the misery back in Brooklyn.
Rhode Island has been hit really hard, too. My hometown and the neighboring town are having major water issues (perhaps related to the flooding earlier this spring). It’s really hot up here as well.
St. Russell – Thanks! Yes, the last two days were pretty dreadful and we spent most of our time swimming. It was unbearably hot. Today it seems to have broken just a bit.
when is Vault scheduled for release? sounds like a must-see! hello to all the “Peace Dale O’Malleys”
“I am a skilled physician.”
Best.
Movie.
Line.
Ever.
Isn’t it?? If a zombie horde is clamoring at the door, you really have got to hope that there is a “skilled physician” among you.
