I got up way too early today, but the upshot is that we have evacuated the Facility in the Middle of Nowhere and are now holed up at Spring's [1] workplace, Negiyo, which is rated for either a Class 3 or a Class 5 hurricane, depending upon who you talk to.
Our current “home” is one of the conference rooms (with two TV (Television)s, three microwaves and tons of chairs. Eventually I suppose I'll take a nap or something.
But meanwhile we've got food, drink and I have a stack of books given to me by one of Spring's cow-orkers: Foucault's Pendulum [2] by Umberto Eco, Timely Matrimony [3] by either Kasey Michaels (listed author on the book) or Fern Michaels (listed author at Amazon [4]), Wife in Name Only [5] by Carolyn Zane and Temporary Groom [6] by either Jayne [DELETED-Addiction-DELETED] Addison (book) or Joan Johnston (Amazon). Yes, three trashy romance novels, but together they balance Foucault's Pendulum quite nicely.
## Suzi Harper: Bride of the moment
Finding a man these days isn't easy. So when I found a nineteenth-century hunk on a storm-swept beach, I hung on to him! Not only was Harry Wilde single, but he needed a wife to help him survive the modern world. I just couldn't abandon dear Harry.
## Harry Wilde: Groom for all time?
Time travel was quite a shock! Even more so was my impromptu marriage to Suzi Harper. The woman was impossible: she spoke without being bidden—and waltzed around so scantily clad! But my modern lady stole my heart. If only it wasn't my destiny to leave her …
“Timely Matrimony”
Hey, who'd a thunk—a trashy romance novel with a science fiction twist!
