Tired today because I read kind of late last night, but I'm now into The Return of the King. I like the Frodo in the books better than the Frodo in the films, he wasn't so dark, was more complex in the books.

Keeping the kitchen clean, the kitchen table is looking better than it was (the possible visit of a friend last weekend was enough to get me to clear out some stuff). She didn't make it, maybe one of these days.

Still working on the magazine covers for eBay, a little at a time. The dining room table is where I spread these out, but as I organize them they're stacked up and the table will soon be open for the next project.

Linn, I don't think this thrift store is part of a chain, but I notice a lot of sameness between how various thrift stores in the area work so I suspect there is some sort of organization that they belong to that helps set policy and determine how to price things and how to clear them out.
