SoberP, your dinner sounds really good. You've had a productive day too. Awesome. It's been so long since I read To Kill a Mockingbird that I'd need to read it again to pick up Go Set a Watchman. I've been reading all the hoopla surrounding the release so it will be interesting to hear your impressions of the book.

Talk about pressure on Harper Lee. All these years and just one book. One ultimate book. The build up of a cult of personality in which she dodged publicity. Or publishing anything else. What if one was the only one you could do? Although she apparently wrote the "new" one before the other and just let it sit for over fifty years. She's in a nursing home and is mostly deaf and blind following a stroke so really, how aware is she of what is going on?

I'm home right now with all the windows open. The house is beastly hot inside but it's chilly and breezy outside. Maybe it will cool off inside. Now I have to see to my sons drum practice. No band for him next school year.
