EDIT: Oh, this is ironic! Two people have rec'd Watchers by Dean Koontz. I've read that book 3 times, and loved it. The Outsider always made me so sad. I haven't read many of Koontz's other books (so many out there), but that is an old fav.

Remember guys, say the authors' names too! Or I might try the wrong one.

My family and another two families from our sailing club had trailered sailboats up to um... what's that town? Burlington? Some B- word. We launched from there and spent two weeks, in August. It was a beuatiful place. And thankfully, it only rained on the day before we arrived and started again the hour we were leaving. I swear, we got the summer's two weeks of perfect weather.

I liked the islands. Lots of blackberries everywhere. And we had fantastic creme brulee with fruit in a fancy restaurant on Roche.

The people were nice, and the sailing was good. :)

:D I'm so glad you liked it there- my favorite place, really.

And don't tell.... but we have awesome summers. Seriously, it's almost always sunny. I adore our summers... but it's a secret. LOL.

Maybe the town was Bellingham? One of my favorite Washington cities.

BELLINGHAM! that's it. Ha.

You ever been to the marina there? They have a very small 1-room aquariam in the marina. Lots fo tanks of small fish, crabs, seas slugs, anenomies, that sort of thing.

Well, My mom and I were leaning over the large open pool looking at the various squiggly things that would typically be found in a tidepool, when this little boy (4) and his mother wandered in. They looked at the tanks too, and the little boy came to stand by us and look at our pool.

Then his mother wandered back out and was standing by the door. Unfortunately, not visible from where we were. So the little boy finaly gets bored of watching lil crabs canabalize each other, and looks around to realize his mother's "gone". He gets this semi-worried look on his little blond face.

And my mother, bless her evil heart, looks right at him and says, "She left. She doesn't love you any more."

The boy stared at us for a split second, then bolted out the door bawling.

I sort of stood there and stared at my mother in shock. It was simultaneously the most horribly and funniest thing I'd ever seen her do. I wanted to be all righteously miffed at her, but it was just so hilarious that I couldn't hold a strait face. I spent the rest of the trip teasing ehr by sayign she scarred the child for life and probably gave him a complex.

A few months later, she gives me a bumbper sticker that says in bright flashy colors: "Mean People Produce Little Mean People". It's on my bedroom mirror.

That's my Bellingham story. :)

ROTFL

Oh my god. That's the funniest damn thing I've heard in a long time.

What a character she must be.
