Pre holiday words

I finished the book finally last night and I really like to have something new to start on a holiday weekend. I like that whole feeling of looking forward to a day if not a weekend of just falling into a new read. Especially if it's a good read. In the winter it's curling up against some heat vent of some sort or even a fire if you have access to such a thing and in the summer of course finding some place in the shade and losing yourself in the words. Even if you don't have a new book to consider by sometimes like opening up one of the ones that I really like that I've read before and I have a few Stephen King's that I keep around for that very purpose but I didn't really feel like a Stephen King this 4th of July. Besides I wanted to go out and find something new that I haven't been into for a while. I had a few things to do this morning but once I got those out of the way I was fair game to head out to find something to read.

I really thought I knew where there is a Barnes & Noble or another book conglomerate in the old neighborhood. Hold up to the corner to catch the 47 inbound. I had to wait a little bit but it wasn't a hot day not like it has been and I sort of sort of laid back down in the chair and enjoyed what heat there was. I finally did get to the place where I thought this bookstore is at. I suddenly had this weird Twilight Zone feeling that I knew what I should be looking at but what I was looking at was not there. I couldn't quite remember for sure where the building was but I knew it was in the general area where I was at and was big enough that there's no way I could have misplaced it but it was gone. I just sat there a bit flummoxed and as I continue to roll around and look at the different buildings and shops that are still there I suddenly realized the whole giant section at the end of this group of buildings was no longer there. Whatever had been there have been totally turn down replaced with a black top and kind of chained off. Look like it was trying to find a new owner or something to build there. This was a bit disheartening since I really had my sights on the book. I figured worst case scenario I would go up the hill cross the street and be at the Costco and though the selection is not the best it's something.

I can never go to Costco without rolling up and down the aisles and seeing all the stuff that I'd like to get that I never get because I never have a bag or something with me to carry the stuff home with. This isn't the problem for people who have their own vehicles but for me there's no way I can carry stuff home without a bag. I've tried the nearest past it's just too awkward. After a bit of rolling I finally went over to the book section looked and looked funny coming to rest on a a team up effort by a couple of my favorite authors: James Patterson and Michael Crichton. James Patterson I'm not sure if I'd consider him a favorite author except that he or whoever writes in his name puts out a lot of stuff that I have read and it's somewhat entertaining. Michael Crichton however was one of my favorites and I really still miss the guy. Anyway. I got the book and finally got back to the apartment. It's been a bit of a long day, another one, but I think I'm sick for the holiday now I haven't been to the market and maybe I'll just skip that part of the holiday this year. I'll be happy with what I have and I never really end up doing what I want to do anyway so it really doesn't matter. Maybe I'll just hibernate and enjoy getting in to a new book
