sequoiagirl has lovely photos of Pinecrest Lake in the Kayak LJ community today. It's one I know well, having camped there many times the night before leaving for a backpacking trip into the Emigrant Nat'l Forest.
I stayed up last night until I finished My Sister's Keeper. Now that I'm done and the book has relinquished its grip, I have a few quibbles, under the fun of an all-consuming good read. The mother is rather one-dimensional, the ending pissed me off (it cheats on difficult ethical questions), and it would probably be predictable were it a movie instead of a book (though it isn't one that reads like an insta-screenplay).
Self-professed shopper-hater that I am, I still took this AM off work to go to the Title 9 blow out sale and scored! 4 pairs of shoes (2 pr Keens!), 2 prs. pants, 3 or 4 shirts, a bathing suit, and shorts. Yes! Bonus: ran into 3 people I know: a coworker, a fellow book group member, and the sister of a friend. All this plus lunch on the waterfront. Why do I work again? Oh right, to pay the MC bill once it comes. SIGH.
