Although really, didn't we already know Satan was a man? Because really, if Satan was a woman - well, I'm just sayin' - girlfriend wouldn't have been banished to the bowels of H-e-double-hockey-sticks.

On Wednesday, my Detroit Tigers made a move heard 'round the world, and basically caused 1/3 of my Twitter feed to lose it's mind (it was business as usual for the 1/3 romance novel and 1/3 librarian/publishing groups). Prince Fielder, or as Wendy likes to call him when yelling at the TV every summer, "Fatty," has been traded to the Texas Rangers. In exchange the Tigers sent cash and second baseman Ian Kinsler.
So yeah. So long Prince. Yes, your contract drove me insane, and yes, you were non-existent in the playoffs the last two years. But you're big and cuddly like a teddy bear, you have more Daddy Issues than a boatload of Harlequin Presents billionaires and you were Miguel Cabrera's Super Best Friend. Bon voyage, and best of luck to you in Texas.

On the bright side? I hope that while I am unplugged I'll get a ton of reading done - which means once I'm back to my normal routine in December? I should have lots of reviews coming down the pipe.
See you on the flip of the calendar!

Sorry, Wendy, but if you mean by "round the world" "round the USA," then that's more accurate. I've never heard of the people you're talking about! Fine looking specimens, though. But I do know what sport can do to a person's sanity.
Now if Robin van Persie's contract with Man U was in peril, that'd be heard all around the world! (another fine looking man!)
But yes, sport is a divisive and passionate thing for some of us. Oh and I forgot to add that the England cricket team is currently in Australia trying to retain the Ashes. After the second day the Aussies bowled England out for 136, which is nothing short of pathetic.
And this weekend, tomorrow actually, England play New Zealand in the semi-finals of the Rugby League Word Cup. Oh dear, I fear the worst. Did you know the USA had a team in this competition? Good team, too.
Maybe I should add that a cuddly man gets my vote! But here's Van Persie for your delectation, and the RL England team.

And here's what you're missing with Rugby League

But I'm not sending you any cricket pictures, as I'm ashamed.
May your Thanksgiving be awesome, and safe, and full of wondrous reading.
See you soon!
Have a fabulous thanksgiving. May you eat, read and drink your fill without even a teensy tiny guilt-trip!
Oh my! Hello Robin Van Persie! Hubba, hubba, hubba! Someone toss me in the nearest cold shower.
I had a professor in college who was obsessed with cricket. Even tried to explain it to me once. Needless to say I was confused by it all in about three seconds. People who say it's "similar to baseball" obviously have no idea what they are talking about :)
AL: I got through 4.5 books. Not bad, but not as many as I hoped. Lots o' reviews coming up!
Marguerite: No guilt-trip whatsoever! It was heavenly to get away from the office for a week. Managed to unwind, catch up on my sleep, and got a decent amount of reading done.
