Decaf Espresso Roast Pods
This decaffeinated espresso is part of our history—the same beloved blend we've been serving in our stores since we handcrafted the very first Starbucks latte. Much has changed since then, but we still feel that nothing beats this rich blend of high-grown beans. It reaches its flavorful zenith through a longer roast to achieve a dark, caramelly sweetness. Great for the office, each of the 12 pods is filled with fresh-roasted, ground and tamped coffee for a mess-free, delicious decaffeinated shot of espresso, every time.
Full-Bodied & Bold
With the help of Starbucks® coffee pods, it's easy to create your favorite espresso beverage at home.
Each pod is filled with ground and tamped Starbucks® Espresso Roast, so there's no measuring, no grinding, no mess. Just a consistently delicious shot of espresso, every time.
Starbucks® espresso pods measure 54 mm across from the edge of the filter paper to the other. It is 43 mm across the section containing the coffee and 9 mm thick. Each pod contains 7 grams of coffee, enough for one shot of espresso. Starbucks® Espresso Roast pods can be used with most home espresso machines; they will fit in all espresso machines accepting E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods.
Espresso pods are not compatible with single-serve pod coffee makers or the Verismo® System.
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
- Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
- Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
- Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
I love the espresso pods and use them every day in my Starbuck espresso machine but now I can't find them at the Starbucks stores. Are they still available?
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
My husband must use decaf coffee. This is very good and works great with my espresso machine
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
I used to order these in bulk and I've now run out! Where, oh where can I find them? I'm not buying a verismo machine when I have a perfectly working $500 machine on the counter! Bring these back!!!!!
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
These pods are the quickest, easiest and CLEANEST way to make espresso at home. Wish they were easier to find in a store, but on-line delivery worked great. Please don't ever quit making this item!
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
The pods go great with the Starbuck'c Expresso machine I bought several years ago . However , I can no longer find them at the local Starbucks . Why?
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
i've done the comparison of making espresso using ground coffee or these pods and the cost is less using the pod per cup and it is also cleaner for the espresso maker. Been using these for about 5 years and absolutely love it. I highly recommend. Great taste for a decaf.
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
The pods are so easy to use at home to make lattes. They whole family uses them.
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
As a former Starbuck's Barista, I am disappointed that these pods are so hard to find. I have to go to several stores, or call several, then find the product is outdated and of no use (taste awful if out of date), Plus now I have to order the Mocha Power online only with a slow delivery and high shipping fees. Not all people wish to have the new method of coffee with the little "keurig" like cups! Please listen to the long time customers as well!
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
I make Lattes at home or I go to my neighborhood Starbucks for a Vanilla Latte. The espresso pods make it real easy without the mess at home. Just wish my Starbucks store stocked them.
Comments about Starbucks Decaf Espresso Roast Pods:
I love this pod. So easy, perfect espresso every time

USDA Seeks Nominees for the National Mango Board
AMS No.054-13
Gwen Sparks, (202) 260-8210
WASHINGTON, April 4, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agriculture is seeking nominations for seven seats on the National Mango Board. The board is composed of 18 members, including eight importers; two domestic producers; one first handler; and seven foreign producers.
The National Mango Board is looking for three foreign producers and a domestic producer to replace representatives whose terms expire at the end of this year. The foreign producers represent production in overseas countries and the domestic producer represents production in the United States.
The board is also seeking to fill three importer seats. Two importers will represent District 3, which covers the customs districts of El Paso, Texas; Nogales, Ariz.; Great Falls, Mont.; and Pembina, N.D.; and one importer will cover District 4, which includes the customs districts of San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, Calif.; Columbia-Snake, Ore.; Seattle, Wash.; Anchorage, Alaska and Honolulu, Hawaii.
Perspective nominees must submit applications by May 8, 2013. Each selected member will serve a three-year term of office.
USDA encourages board membership that reflects the diversity of the individuals served by the programs. All eligible women, minorities and persons with disabilities are invited to seek nomination for a seat on the National Mango Board.
The National Mango Board meets periodically to review marketing and research activities that benefit the industry. The national program, which became effective in 2004, is industry-funded and supports the national marketing and promotion of fresh mangos. USDAs Agricultural Marketing Service oversees board activities to ensure fiscal responsibility, program efficiency and fair treatment of participating stakeholders.
For more information or an application, please contact National Mango Board Executive Director, William Watson or Director of Industry Relations, Marilda Peele by phone at (407) 629-7318 or email at

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Jacob Huesman (Chattanooga) engineered the winning drive and the Chattanooga Mocs (6-2/4-1) defense slammed the door on a 28-24 come-from-behind win over visiting The Citadel (2-6/2-4) Saturday afternoon. It is the fourth straight win for the Mocs and the 500th victory in school history.
"It was on the line and we knew we had to get it done, and we did it," Head Coach Russ Huesman explained. "What a great team win, including defense, offense and special teams. This is a great team win."
It was 24-21 Bulldogs when the Mocs took over on their own 21 with 3:42 to play. Huesman and his mates went to work.
After Marquis Green (Palmetto, Fla.) ran for eight yards, Huesman found redshirt freshman C.J. Board (Clarksville, Tenn.) for 28 into Bulldogs' territory to the 43. Green got another seven yards to the 36 when the spotlight went squarely on No. 14.
Huesman ran three consecutive plays, the first for 12, and the second for 11 more. His final carry was up the middle for 13 yards and into the end zone for the winning tally.
It was far from over as that touchdown came with just over two minutes on the clock. The Chattanooga defense was not going to allow it to slip away. Keionta Davis (Chattanooga) had a hand in two sacks, forcing a fourth-and-16 desperation play for the Bulldogs.
Aaron Miller escaped pressure and was hit as he threw by Davis Tull (Knoxville, Tenn.). As his pass approached midfield, Kadeem Wise (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and Dee Virgin (Donalsonville, Ga.) each made a play on the ball. It deflected and fell to the turf just before the Bulldogs' Matt Thompson could corral it. Chattanooga ran out the clock from there for the 28-24 win.
"The Citadel hasn't given up many sacks, and I had a feeling we would be in this situation," Huesman added. "We went back and looked at every two-minute drive they had this whole year and didn't cut it up based on formation. We looked at them all and they had been very successful within two minutes.
"Aaron Miller throws the ball really well and they've had a lot of success," he continued. "But we have a lot of pass rushers…it's always good to have pass rushers."
Chattanooga trailed by as many as 10, three times, as The Citadel's triple-option attack caused fits for the defense. The Bulldogs scored on their first three possessions in building a 17-7 halftime lead.
On the flip side, the Mocs offense got off to a sluggish start. It scored just once in their five times with the ball before three second half touchdowns earned the win.
"We could have made some plays in the first half, but I just wasn't connecting with our receivers," the younger Huesman shared. "I was overthrowing, underthrowing and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the first half. Luckily I started hitting people in the second half. I hit Xavier Borishade and then the one to C.J. Board to put us on the other side of the field was big.
"C.J. had a great game."
Huesman had 239 yards of total offense. He ran for 95 on 13 rushes with a score, while throwing for 144 more (13-23-0 passing) and two TD's. Green had 85 yards rushing on 16 carries in relief of the SoCon's second-leading rusher Keon Williams (Chattanooga), who did not see an offensive snap due to injury. Board had a game-high five catches for 59 yards.
Muhasibi Wakeel (Decatur, Ga.) had a career-high 17 tackles to pace the defense. It's the most stops by a Moc since Ryan Consiglio (2008-11) posted 19 against Wofford in 2011. D.J. Key (Centerville, Tenn.) added another 13, tying his career-high.
Darien Robinson led a strong Bulldogs rushing attack that gained 334 yards on the day. Robinson gained 124 yards on 24 carries getting the tough yards inside. Dalton Trevino (2-63) and Ben Dupree (12-56) combined for another 119 yards.
The Citadel used two big plays to try and stave off the Mocs. After UTC closed within three twice, the Bulldogs used a long pass and long run to spread its advantage back to 10. The first came in the second quarter as Miller hit Jake Stenson on a 41-yard strike for the 17-7 halftime lead. It became a 24-14 contest when Trevino took the option pitch 61 yards mid-way through the third quarter for the score.
The Citadel amassed 215 of its 334 rushing yards in the first half. Take away Trevino's long run, and the Mocs allowed just 58 rushing yards in the second frame.
Huesman got it back to a three-point game, 24-21, late in the third. He lofted a 33-yard scoring toss to a streaking Xavier Borishade (Kennesaw, Ga.) to set up the late heroics.
It is off to Boone, N.C., for the Mocs next Saturday. A 3:30 p.m., kickoff awaits against Appalachian State. Links to live video, audio and stats are available at GoMocs.com and fans can follow on twitter (@GoMocsFB) for news, stats and notes.

On the patio, Tyler tells Leslie about his trip with Abby and goes on about how amazing she is. Leslie thinks he sounds ready to settle down. Tyler says the last time he got serious it blew up.

Nick says he was with Dylan when he got the DNA results. Nikki apologizes for blurting the truth out at dinner. Nick understands her not coming out with the truth sooner - he'd be a hypocrite otherwise. Victoria comes in. Victor beams. "The family's all here." Victoria says they're not all there. Nick says he's leaving and Vikki walks him to the door to urge him to accept Dylan. She'd like him to be a part of the family. Nick says it's already changed things, and leaves.

The 32-year-old Croatia international has made just eight Premier League starts for the Cottagers since joining them on a free transfer from Hamburg on a one-year deal last July.
He has made a further 10 appearances from the bench but has been kept out of the side by Dimitar Berbatov, who followed him into Craven Cottage in August.
However Jol remains keen to retain Petric, who has scored five goals this season, after also working with him at Hamburg.
"Petric is one we would like to keep," the Dutchman told the Fulham Chronicle.
"He wants to play and because of Berbatov he couldn't. He was probably the most effective player in England - he scored goals and didn't play a lot."

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fashionista So pretty I ca't wait for it to get warm again so I can pair this with some boots or hot platforms!! So feminine and comfortable. Fits like a glove!! I got the Rose and I just love it :) A great piece - get it!! 2.9.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by luv_boho Blah Got this in rose. Looks totally off - like grandma's curtain snippings. I love the way it looks in the picture, but when it actually came, the jersey-like material compounded with the very washed out florals (not rich looking like they appear in the picture) just made it look like fancy/sexy PJs. Would not wear this out. It's going back. 9.24.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kreed324 Pretty! Love this dress. Typically I wear an XS but snagged this with only a size small left in stock. Despite sizing up, and being a bit loose as expected, it was still a great buy! Wore it with sheer black tights to a date party. 10.23.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by EmmaD SO NICE This dress is AMAZING. it's SO soft and comfy, its almost like not wearing anything. i got the rose color, and the fabric initially seemed a bit thin but theres no see through parts at all. It fits AMAZINGLY and is so flattering. My measurements are 34-25-35in, but im a 32DD-DDD so often times my boobs seem disproportionately large compared to the rest of my body, but this dress makes me look stellar and glides right over weird spots and made me feel super sleek. It does run large though!!! i got an Extra Small, and usually im a small, and the extra small fits very well, its fitted, but not squeezing me to death like some other body con dresses. Love love LOVEEE. <3 2.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by BeaBea77 AMAZING!!! I just got this dress in the Ivory in the mail yesterday and I LOVE it!! I'm 5'10" and 140 pounds and a medium fit me perfectly!! It's not super tight, but tight enough to where it hugs you perfectly and you're still completely comfortable!! I loved it so much that today I got this dress again but in the Taupe color. I'm so looking forward to my next day off so that I can show it off!! If you're on the fence about this dress I suggest you just go for it, it's totally worth it! :) 1.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by moonglow Pretty pattern top or tunic I have this top in the taupe and it is more of a purple than taupe - very pretty pattern and color. It should be in the dress or top category. A FP salesperson suggested wearing a thermal over it on cooler California nights. (I found this great gray thermal as well and I will do as suggested) As the other reviewers mentioned, it does run larger and is somewhat roomier in the capped sleeves. This may be a result of the more open V criss-cross bust. This caused me to size down. Otherwise the capped sleeves would tend to and did fall off the shoulders. The fabric is soft, yet durable - not thin. This top is so pretty, girly. Just as easily it can be worn as a nightie, if you want. But, really it's too pretty not to share by wearing it for everyone to see. 11.25.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by cjmarie28 Okay From the waist down, this dress fits like a classic bodycon. But above the waist, it runs a bit large. There was just extra room in the shoulders and around the rib cage, which I typically fill out well with my larger chest. The pattern is less impressive in person and it doesn't match up along the seams, creating a disjointed look to the flowers. I suppose each individual dress would be different, depending how the fabric is cut, so you could get lucky with a more even one. I am 5'7" 120lbs and I wore a small in this dress. I'm sure sizing down would have helped the upper part, but then my hips would have been too accentuated. 10.10.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KittyMalone Darling, but very roomy on top!! I ordered this dress online in the "taupe" color. Let me just say that there is nothing taupe about the colorway! It's more dusty purple/lavender and navy with some cooperish tones. I love the colorway and the print,and it is what I expected after seeing it on the the monitor. The fabric is very, very soft and comfortable - almost like a really nice silky knit pajama type material. I noticed the label reads "Intimately Free People" so maybe it is meant more for lounge wear - however it's perfectly fine as a dress. I wanted to LOVE this dress, and I do except that it is sooooo roomy on top that I don't think altering it would help it fit me correctly. You have to have some boobs to wear this dress, and I'm only a 32B, plus - I'm a tiny person and pretty narrow across my back. After trying it on the first time I immediately thought "I have to send this back", but I love it so much and want to make it work. I am going to take it to the tailor to see if they can bring in the sides a bit, but I don't have much hope - it's pretty big! The bottom fits fine - like it does on the model. For reference, my measurements are 32B-23 waist-33 hip-5 ft tall- roughly 87 lbs. I can see wearing this with some contrasting tights, ankle boots and a jean jacket. So cute, but just be aware that you have to have something up top, or proportionally be as wide on top as you are on the bottom in order for it to fit correctly. My opinion anyway. 10.7.2012

EGLIN AFB — The arrival of the Army's 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) more than a year ago has been a welcome boost to a slumping local economy.
The group, which officially opened its cantonment in October 2011, should pump about $3.2 billion into Okaloosa County's economy between 2010 and 2016, according to a report from the Haas Center at the University of West Florida.
It's enough to offset the departure of 50 F-15s from the Air Force's 33rd Fighter Wing in 2009, which will result in a loss of $3.3 billion during the same time period, the report said.
Although the report calls it a nearly even trade, the area felt the economic boost when Army families began arriving from Fort Bragg, N.C., last year because the economy was so depressed, said Rod Lewis, director of the Haas Center.
Their arrival came on the heels of the housing bubble burst in 2008 and then the loss of the F-15s in 2009.
"It was a double whammy," Lewis said.
After two years of significantly negative population growth in Okaloosa County, the 7th Special Forces Group brought about 6,000 new people, including 2,200 soldiers and their families, to the area.
People had been used to operating in the slump, Lewis said. "Then, boom."
The county has felt the impact, especially in Crestview where most of the families settled.
"We're very pleased with the outcome," said Kay Rasmussen, interim president of the Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County. "The community has embraced the families moving into our neighborhoods."
She described a ripple effect on the local economy as the new families started purchasing and leasing homes and taking advantage of retail.
Also, many of the soldiers' spouses opened small businesses, primarily in the Crestview area, Rasmussen said.
The departure of the F15s, the arrival of the Special Forces Group and then the arrival of the first F-35s at Eglin Air Force Base were all called for in a Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) report in 2005.
The F-35s — the first of which arrived at Eglin in July 2011 — have brought about 1,300 people to the community, said Col. Tony Douglas, vice commander of the Air Force's 96th Test Wing, which oversees operations at the base.
"It has been a big transition (for Eglin)," Douglas said.
It's going well, though, he said.
At a sprawling 724 square miles — about the size of Rhode Island — Eglin is the Department of Defense's largest installation and was ready to absorb the new missions, Douglas said. The community also welcomed the new personnel with open arms.
"It's been great, not just for TEAM Eglin, but for the local community as well," he said. "We've got more people coming into what is, in my opinion, a very exciting and diverse installation."
Many people had expectations that the new Army jobs would be low pay and would not offset the loss of the F-15s, which relocated about 2,000 airmen, Lewis said.
"They were a bit afraid. The Army's coming. The Army's coming," he said. "But these people are very well-paid. This is not a private first class making $20,000 a year."
The 7th Special Forces soldiers are largely well-educated and earn $70,000 to $90,000 a year.
"That's quite a different (economic) impact when you look at it," he said.
Lewis said 65 to 75 percent of the families settled in north Okaloosa County.
The soldiers deploy regularly and military spouses wanted to live close to each other for support. They also are a tight-knit group, having all been stationed together at Fort Bragg for years.
"Crestview got out ahead," Lewis said. "They were very welcoming and worked to promote Crestview as the place to be."
Many of the families just didn't look anywhere else, he said.
Lewis said he was somewhat surprised more families didn't move south because housing was much more affordable closer to the beach and Choctawhatchee Bay than it would have been before the housing market crashed.
He said the lingering question about the military's economic impact remains what level of growth the area will see from the F-35 program.
At one point, the Air Force estimated there would be 107 planes at Eglin. Twenty-two jets have arrived so far.
The effects have been positive, but just how much economic benefit will come from the program is yet to be determined, Lewis said.
"They are just not here in the numbers we initially thought they would be," he said.

Run-parts vs. user crontab execution
From Brandonhutchinson.com
One caveat when running programs via run-parts (e.g., /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily, etc.) vs. user crontabs is the HOME environment variable.
- By default, HOME is set to / in /etc/crontab, so all scripts executed via run-parts have a HOME of /.
- By default, HOME is the home directory in /etc/passwd of the crontab owner in user crontabs. This can be overwridden by including a HOME line in user crontabs.
This caused me problems when I tried to execute a MySQL backup script via run-parts that depended on ~/.my.cnf in the user's home directory. As a workaround, I modified the script to set the HOME environment variable rather than make a global change in /etc/crontab for all run-parts scripts.

Chattanooga improves to 6-1 overall and 2-0 in league play while the Paladins even out their record at 3-3 and 0-1 in the SoCon. UTC junior Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) topped the 20-point mark for the second straight game and the third time out of the last four games, led the Lady Mocs to the win with a game-high 21 points and added seven rebounds, three offensive and was 3-of-3 from the free throw line.
Junior Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) tied her season-high with 14 points, making 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, 6-of-8 from the field and matched her career-high for steals with three. Senior Kayla Christopher scored in double figures for the fifth time this season with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting with two steals and two assists. Junior Taylor Hall pulled down a game-best eight rebounds and dished out a career-high seven assists while recording two blocked shots and two steals.
After the Paladins opening 3-pointer, Chattanooga's Dewart, Black and Christopher combined for a 7-0 run to take the lead. Furman managed to knot it up twice with the last at 9-9 on a layup from Janice Roberts at the 16:13 mark of the first half, but Dewart would kick it into overdrive. The Spartanburg, S.C., native scored nine of Chattanooga's points in a 13-2 run to give the Lady Mocs their first double-digit lead of the game at 22-11 with 11:01 to go in the opening stanza.
Furman responded with a couple of quick layups to cut the lead back to 22-15, but that's the closes the game would get as Chattanooga closed out the first half outscoring the Paladins 20-13 to lead 44-28 at the half.
Chattanooga scored the final five points of the first half and continued its roll at the start of the second half reeling off the first 15 points of the period with five steals to take a 31-point lead, the largest of the game at that point, 59-28 with 14:31 to play.
The Lady Mocs allowed just 12 points from Furman in the second half and held the Paladins to just two field goals on 23 tries (8.7%). Furman was 8-of-12 from the free throw line in the second half and 11-of-15 for the game.
Chattanooga was 33-of-59 from the field (55.9%), its best shooting percentage of the year, and was 12-of-18 from the free throw line. Sophomore Kayla Freeman (Carlton, Ga.) scored a career-high seven points sinking seven of her eight attempts from the charity stripe.
Chattanooga had 18 assists to 15 turnovers and 16 steals led by Black's three and forced 21 Furman turnovers. In the paint, the Lady Mocs outscored Furman 46-16 and had 29 points off turnovers compared to the Paladins' nine.
UTC won the rebounding battle for the second straight game, 45-27 and had 17 offensive rebounds that translated into 15 second chance points compared to Furman's 10 off 16 offensive rebounds. The Lady Mocs had 12 fastbreak points and the bench outscored the Paladins 26-6.
The 43-point win is Chattanooga's second-best margin of victory over the Paladins since UTC defeated Furman 82-38 on December 9, 2008 on the road.
The Lady Mocs will begin fall exams Monday before traveling to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the Crimson Tide. The game is set to tip off at 3 p.m. at Foster Auditorium and will be carried live on 105.1 FM.

Mexican Americans: The Ambivalent Minority
Governor Pete Wilson's proposed immigration reforms have generated a great deal of controversy, particularly in Southern California, where immigration (legal and illegal) from Mexico has had the largest impact. Part of the debate turns on the choices faced by recent immigrants-whether to assimilate in the traditional fashion, or to capitalize on their status as a separate culture with special needs. The Henry Salvatori Center and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to present Dr. Peter Skerry, author of Mexican Americans: The Ambivalent Minority (1993), to address this question. His book has received wide acclaim and has been nominated for the 1992-93 Los Angeles Times Book Prize; his talk will undoubtedly stimulate discussion on some of the toughest public policy issues of the 1990s.
Professor Skerry is the director of Washington Programs for UCLA's Center for American Politics and Public Policy as well as an associated staff member at the Brookings Institution, where he is currently studying the politics of the United States census.
Mr. Skerry holds a doctorate in political science from Harvard University and was formerly a research fellow at both the American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution. His articles on politics and social policy have appeared in many publications, including The New Republic, Commentary, The Wilson Quarterly, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

Still reading The Passage. They just had
a big problem in Vegas.
I am appalled that I didn't like this book for a week.
Fly, Colton, Fly: The True Story of the Barefoot Bandit - Jackson Holtz
This is about about Colton Harris-Moore's life and crime spree. This was written by a reporter who covered this story for a few years. It's interesting to read an in depth account of this from a reporter. You get a better idea, because of geography, how Colton was able to allude the police (plus the FBI and homeland security). The book gives all of the fun details of Colton's plane flights and run from the law while it also questions why people celebrate certain criminals.
The book also serves as a very sad commentary about kids with extremely poor parents. His childhood was a mess. Colton's mom is an alcoholic and his dad was a heroin addict who died mysteriously in a motel room when Colton was very young. After his father was gone, there were a few more drug addicted boyfriends in Colton's life. Colton started breaking into houses at a very young age stealing food when his mom was not home to feed him. But, Colton did have a few people that tried to help him and he was given opportunities to get on track but didn't seem interested in a life that didn't involve stealing.
Finished Nelson DeMille's "The Gold Coast" yesterday. Was a very quick book, but I can't decide if I liked it enough to read another by this author. I just did not like the characters very much in this story, and really could not understand the main character at all, particularly at the very end. Masochist might explain it, but whatever...I didn't like him or his wife very much. The best part of the book, and about the only thing that kept me reading was John Sutter's wit. That I DID enjoy. Not sure what's on tap next...Heading to Mexico for a week, so will be taking the kindle, and I have started "Cutting for Stone", so will probably resume with it. Until later.
I'm reading a Chelsea Cain series right now. I'm way behind on the time line but they're really great, serial killers and tormented determined detectives, right up my alley!
Still re-reading It, and enjoying it very much. I started thinking about Henry Bowers, the bully, and how his description reminds me so much of someone that was in my 5th grade PE class (we had multiple 5 grades, but all had PE together). The kid was a farm boy that had been held back several years, and correctly so, in that his reasoning ability was that of a 4th or 5th grader, although he had the body of a 16 year old and was clearly double the physical size of most of fifth graders. He also had a mean temper, and carried a wrench in his overalls that he used to tap other kids on the head with during class, when no one was looking. Our PE teacher was about 6'2" and 250 lbs; the two of them got into a fight (knock down fight) one day, that was the last I ever saw of Dale (thank goodness).
Just finished Charles Bukowski's Pulp. A different kind of pulp fiction novel, only Bukowski could've written that. Next, I'm getting back to 77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz, don't know if I can make it, though. Not one of his best, so far.
I'm reading my collection of H. P. Lovecraft. Really enjoying it too~
