Have you ever pulled everything out of your clothes dryer, folded it all, then found a leftover sock? It happens to me all the time and invariably leads to a big hunt. I thought that obsessive hunt for the sock was a pretty good analogy for all the peculiar little things that embroil me from time to time. Anyway, I thought the blog medium would be a good way to keep track of all these "missing socks!"
I'm reading an excellent biography from Anchor Books, The Life of Thomas More, by Peter Ackroyd. (ISBN 0-385-49693-1) The best part for me is the sketch it gives on Thomas' wife Dame Alice, as she is my ancestor by a previous marriage (thru the Jernigans). Anyway, she was quite a character, and the rest of the books is very well-written, too. I can highly recommend it to anyone with interest in Tudor England.
