For once in her life, The Baroness is actually early with something. Please excuse me for just a moment as I defibrillate the Baron. He's not used to such pre-organization from yours truly. I mean really - my talents lie in much grander arenas than that of planning ahead. Yech. Just the thought makes me shudder slightly.
I found the little gem for this week's TT in the discount bin of the local bookstore. These idiots have no conception of the wonders they're tossing away. Not that I was bargain-hunting or anything like that, I was just, er, passing by (yeah, that's it, passing by...) and it caught my eye.

Walden, or, Life in the Woods
Morning: Pond-gazing.
Afternoon: Berry-Picking.
What a hectic day.
I hope the tail end of your week does not rush by you at the same harrowing pace as life on Walden Pond. Happy Thursday and Friday, dear readers.
