Well, I feel as if I am monopolizing the blog. I was hoping someone else would post two sentences first, but no one has, so you all have to put up with me again!
This week I wrote:
Again, Callie wondered at the apparent tension between the two men. It prickled along her skin, nagging, reminding her how little she really knew about either of them.This week I read (from Merchant of Death):
Africa was burning. Witney Schneidman read the tide fo grim news every morning when he arrived at his office on the sixth floor of the Department of State's headquarters in the Foggy Bottom section of Washington, D.C.
(Travis Erwin, who's also participating in Two Sentence Tuesdays, beat me to it, posting his own two sentences over on his blog!)

Sorry, Laura, and thanks. You're not monopolizing a bit. I had electricians and errands all day and so I didn't think to kick off the 2-sentences either. I kept thinking I was forgetting something, and I was! The general disruption and recovery efforts around here-- all that plaster dust-- means little has developed fictionally. But, to keep the spirit alive, here's an email I wrote:
"Anyway, I really can't complain, even if I'm tempted to as an excuse to indulge. The electricians installed the recessed lighting yesterday which looks and works just great."

All of his reference books were piled up in other rooms of the house, and he didn't think he'd be able to keep pulling off the same stunt with impunity, certainly not when he was dealing with an eagle which had managed to figure out what keyholes were for."
- from Douglas Adams' 2nd Dirk Gently novel, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
Glad I could kick start something instead iof being kicked as is usually the case in my life.
