No, Mr. Test, I expect you to die.
So a few things to discuss, in the midst of our blogging drought (we must be sunbathing, rather than typing). I’ve been doing some very summery reading–all leisure, no literature–which I’d like to recommend. If you’ve never tried any Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Identity is tons of fun so far. I’ve never read an espionage thriller, but I’m considering adding the genre to my circle of interest. More particularly, I will recommend the works of Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. I’ve just finished his first novel, Casino Royale, and just purchased the second, Live and Let Die. A bit more literary than Ludlum, but not exactly Jane Austen. Casino Royale is the novel which introduced the world to Bond’s famous dry martini, The Vesper, though you’ve probably never heard it called that.
In between hours of reading spy fiction, I am studying for my second and final board exam this Saturday. I am billing it as “The Last Test Ever,” at least for me, and I plan on putting a bullet through it’s heart without spilling a drop of my celebratory martini.

I read at least on Ian Fleming, James Bond book when I was in high school. But that was so long ago I don’t remember which one it was.

I was going to go to the range Saturday. Wanna come along and bring something symbolizing the test and actually put a bullet through it?

Just realized your test is tomorrow so we’ll have to go another time.

James and I have read all of the James Bond books. Flemming’s books are much better than Gardner’s ones.

Rock that test!
