Of an Evening in Late Summer . . .

Greetings, Blogophiles! My "VV" key is still dead, so you'll have to bear vvith my makeshift double-vees! 

My day vvas a lazy one.  I've been reading "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Svveet," by Montana author Jamie Ford.  The plot revolves around a Chinese-American boy, Henry Lee, and a Japanese-American girl, Keiko Okabe.  It's set during VVorld VVar II and also in 1986.  The VVorld VVar II sections are set directly before and then during the internment of Japanese-Americans in detention camps around the U.S.  It's very poignant and, yes, bitter-svveet.

If I'm not in the Blog-Zone, I most likely can be found on my Facebook page.  Facebook seems to be a convenient and reasonably painless vvay to keep people current on any significant - or, more likely, trivial - happenings in my life. 

I'm off for a vvalk on this beautiful evening in late summer.  The sky is blue, shadovvs are lengthening, and the colors are vibrant, Technicolor-esque!  I must go partake!

So, ciao for niao!
