One, Two, Three
Jayme Lynn Blaschke has tagged me with the 123 meme, the one where you pick up the nearest book, turn to page 123, and blog the fifth sentence on the page. Little did Jayme know how easy this would be for me. The nearest book is one that was waiting in the mail when I got home yesterday. I put it on the computer desk so I'd remember to do eBay feedback. The book is High Dive by Frank O'Rourke, and the reason it's so easy to do the meme thing is that the book has no page 123. It's only 117 pages long. They don't make 'em like that anymore! I'll be reading the book eventually, and you can be sure I'll report on it here.

Hardly great literature but it's probably a better sentence than you'd find in the second closest book, Total Baseball.
