I'm vacationing here in the high Catskill Mountains in New York State, elevation 2,300 feet. I've hiked some mountain trails over the years that's taken me to 5,000 feet, and I hope to do something like that again soon. Except the weather has been exceptionally damp!
Anyway, I thought to make a post on my blog since I can get (occasional) internet service. I've been reading lots of novels, none of them really worth reviewing, but I can say "I read that!" the next time someone mentions a book. For example, I read the new Helen Fielding novel (the author of "Bridget Jones' Diary" -- that famous British "singleton"), entitled "Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination." Olivia is also a single British woman who combines intelligence, intuition and outright paranoia to smell out a terrorist, and eventually seduce him into the hands of the authorities.

While comparisons have been made to James Bond, I think Olivia is a much more complex character -- she has a real job as a journalist, and a real psychosocialhistory (orphaned at age 14 when her parents and brother were run over by a "lorry" while she stayed behind to buy some sweets and a magazine). And, of course, there's a love story involved too, so, it's a fun novel to read when you have time, like when you're vacationing!
Both Bridget and Olivia teach other singles that it's important to have a life that's not just focused on looking for Mr. Right. Because then you just might meet him! Well, gotta go -- I'm going to cook some steaks & knockwurst on the barbeque!
