I lost my voice and want it back, so I’m chatting with Adrienne at dinner. She talks back
Christmas decorating time has begun!

I just finished this book. I enjoyed it. I am a big fan of zombie apocalypse films, because I think that they describe the environment that we evolved to face: the wilderness surrounds us, and we and our small band of friends and family try to survive, not knowing whether the shapes on the horizon are friend or foe, predator or prey. A decent zombie apocalypse film keeps the physical form of the present, but strips away civilization and leaves us with Lucy’s experience three million years ago. We recoil from the horror of it, but a part of us starts working on a plan to deal with the mess. Zone One took me to a place like that, and the book has the advantage of being far longer than any movie.
NPR wrote a bit about it (thank you for pointing it out Adrienne!), and included a link to the beginning of the book. The writing style annoyed me, but then I finished the excerpt and had to buy the book.
Super-pumped that Chris showed us how to use the apple peeler-corer-slicer without the peeler. Apple Crisp time!
