In which the author "discovers" that she is a criminal, hmm? What about the bootlegging you did in college, driving to Jersey to buy alcohol? Don't they do the plate renewal by mail in Michigan? So much easier that way, I'd probably never remember otherwise. And I know, I know, I'm still remiss in that email I owe you. I absolutely, truly, positively promise to write when I get home from the doctor's tomorrow.

Of COURSE, they send you something, like 8 weeks in advance. I put it in the pile, where it moldered until I noticed my plate ran out.

Aaaaah...back when I lived in Massachusetts, there was some sort of snafu with my plates. I found out one day from a letter from the Registry of Motor Vehicles, that there was a BENCH WARRANT out for my arrest. OK, that's bad.
Funny how a trip to the Registry and 300 buck solved the problem, though, eh?

What I'm Reading

  • Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing
    Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****)
  • Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love
    The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****)

    True story about the mysterious life and death of a young woman who's real identity still remains unclear. Excellent read. (****)

    A collection of lyrical short stories from Annie Proulx that contains Brokeback Mountain among other gems. (****)
  • John Grisham: The Innocent Man
    I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you." A must read. (*****)

    Fascinating look at women journalists at the front during WWII. (****)
  • Jack Olsen: Charmer
    Riveting true crime by a master. (****)
  • Ann Rule: Too Late To Say Good Bye
    Excellent telling of the Bart Corbin cases. (****)
  • Michael Crichton: Airframe
    Ehhh. Better than the back of a cereal box, I guess. (**)
