Flemish painter Gabriel Metsu's The Sick Child (1662)Feeling not so well after a lovely Thanksgiving. Hope yours was just as good, sans racking cough, insistent wheeze and cemented sinuses. In the event that I'm out of commission for a day or two, that's the reason. Thanks for all the great quiz responses so far! Mine are due up when the coconut ceases throbbin'! Till then...
*************************************
Hope you feel better soon, Dennis. Remember, if your symptoms persist, or get worse, don't wait and see the doctor. Take care.
ReplyDeleteMy quiz answers are due up when I find the time to answer ALL 50 QUESTIONS!! FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, DENNIS!!!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon!
It's kinda absurd, huh? But I figured, 50 questions will hold ya until the thaw anyway. I'm not anywhere close to feeling bad enough to be bed-ridden, which probably means further delay on my own answers. But I really do wanna try and get them done soon.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, did I tell you I stumbled into a nifty local science fiction/fantasy/horror bookshop here in Glendale last week and bought THE DEMOLISHED MAN on Chris Stangl's very convincing recommendation, and at the same time I also found a volume of John Collier stories called Fancies and Goodnights. I was looking for His Monkey Wife, but they didn't have it.
So you bought the Collier book, right? Right!?
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah... I did buy the Collier book! It's in my hot little hands right now (well, not as I'm typing, but... you know...)
ReplyDelete(How did I manage to leave out that little morsel of information?)
Well, you implied it. I was being sort of pedantic, really.
ReplyDeleteImply, imshp-- Er, pedantic, pedschmantic!
ReplyDeleteSo what's good in there? (And don't say ALL!)
"Evening Primrose", "Green Thoughts", "Witchs Money", "Bird of Prey"....I'll have to check my copy when I get home for more. But start with "Evening Primrose" or "Green Thoughts".
