The Lord Giveth, and He Taketh Away. Everybody Else Just Says They Will

Yesterday, we didn't get a newspaper, nor was our garbage hauled away.
I did find a book I'd been meaning to read for awhile, Sarah's copy of The Polysyllabic Spree. So those of you that were going to recommend an e-book to load onto my phone can feel cheated. Everyone else, and I'm pretty sure I mean everyone else, can be relieved that Nick Hornby probably has some pretty good ideas in that regard.
