The Impossible Dream
|
''To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go, to right the unrightable wrong, to love, pure and chaste, from afar; to try when your arms are too weary; to reach the unreachable star. This is my Quest---to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far, to fight for the right without question or pause'' (The Impossible Dream - lyrics by Joe Darion, music by Mitch Leigh)

So I'm working on my first memorandum of law regarding the dram shop act ::snore:: but hopefully I'll finish it today and that will be one down and one to go.I headed out to lunch today, after going to the bank for the office. I decided to get my special sandwich at the Whitneyville Food Center in Hamden. The guy behind the deli counter calls me "Coz" and I'm not sure if it's because we're actually related or not. ::shrug:: I'm notoriously bad about recognizing people from my extended family. It could be that I've been in there at least once a week for the past three years. Anyway, my special sandwich is their chicken cutlet (smashing!) with lettuce, tomato, mayo and provolone on a hard roll. The. Best. Ever. And a birch beer. Then I walked over to the used bookstore to get something to read while I ate my sandwich. I also picked up some almonds because I heard that almonds help with morning sickness. (I'll try anything) I swear my richer twin must live in the area because I keep finding books from my Amazon wish list. Today, there was "Blue Shoes and Happiness" by Alexander McCall, which is the nearly latest book in his Precious Ramotswe detective series that takes place in Botswana. The series is subtitled "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency". So I snagged that along with a Chelsea Yarbro book that I wanted to read. So I ate half my sandwich and most of my birch beer as I read the first two chapters of the novel. I really like the characters and it was so nice to sit in the sun and relax. I felt like a sunflower straining towards the sun. It's funny, I've got a ton of half read books scattered around the house. I'm currently reading: "Lost in a Good Book" a Tuesday Next novel by Jasper Fforde (Love the puns in this series!), "Best New Paranormal Romances" edited by Paula Guan, "Blue Shoes and Happiness", "A Feast of Crows" by R.R. Martin (I skipped to the end to see if we find out what the hell was the one word Brienne of Tarth said as she was being hanged. We don't know and I'm fed up until Dances with Dragons comes out. LOL) and a few others I opened up and them discarded, not feeling the story. OK back to the memo :P I want another birch beer and another hour in the sun to read.
