Stewed Frustration

It is always a blow to recognize fall from standard. I mustr admit this very fact during the last week. Whereas I read 75 to 100 pages a day the week before, it was the most empoversihed of pickings these last few days, alas if it wasn't for a schedulling fiasco this evening where I was invited to arrive early fior a meeting only to see it shoved back 30 minutes, I would've been pressed to admitt hat I only fifty pages pver the last three days. of course Scrabble and the time with my sweetie have been dividends, but my kip has been limited and thus it goes.

It should also be noted that The Adventured and Misadventures of Maqroll is a very bleak book, especially its first 100 pages all of which echo a Sartrean shrug (note my own Borges wink) with the protagonist leafing through history books on river voyages with the noose never far from his thoughts.
