And he's in!

The Baseball Hall of Fame, that is. Cal Ripken. Did anyone really doubt that he'd be voted in the first year he was eligible? Check out the WaPo articles here and here.

I'd be willing to go to Cooperstown to see his induction...like lots of Balmer fans, I'm sure. Must get info.

Lucien's Fall by Barbara Samuel

I started Lucien's Fall this morning on my commute, and I'm struggling with it a bit. I need to care about a character, hero, heroine, it doesn't matter which. But I need to want to see her/him through to the HEA. Here? I don't really care for either of them, verging on being disgusted, and I'm not sure I think either of them "deserves" the HEA that will, of course, arrive eventually. ( Why don't I care for them? )
