The Burning Room by Michael Connelly
Very good book. Probably the best Bosch novel of the last few years.
Spring is Here!
Smiley, Junie, and Junie's friend test out the trampoline for the first time this year!

The Ghost Ship Festival 2015
Attending the Ghost Ships Festival/SCUBA trade show at the Crowne Plaza
The lecturer . . . leaves something to be desired. Tre and I almost burst out laughing a minute ago. Gotta keep it together. He's piping in Pink Floyd as background music. Lol
The second presentation was less structured but much more interesting.
The third and final presentation of the morning was a comprehensive archeological, historical, and cultural study of the Pewabic. Worth the admission cost by itself.

The Hair Smiley
Feast your eyes on this: one of my kids took the hair out of the bathtub drain a few weeks ago, but rather than throw it away they designed a smiley face with it and left it on the shower wall. *shakes head*
The Shower Hair Smile
As long as I'm stuck in this waiting room, feast your eyes on this: one of my kids took the hair out of the bathtub drain a few weeks ago, but rather than throw it away they designed a smiley face with it and left it on the shower wall. *shakes head*

David Baldacci "The Forgotten"
I read an interview with Lee Child in which he discussed, in childish spite, his distaste of Baldacci for "ripping off" his Reacher series.
Naturally, this pushed me to read one of the disputed books.
The first few chapters were good, but it steadily went downhill from there. Wooden dialogue and an endless number of one sentence paragraphs lay ahead.
Child is a skilled writer; Baldacci a skilled workman. I don't see the book as a copy, or a threat, to Child.
