I think your gnome might have have a cousin who's into stock pot lids. Our's been missing for a few months now. We've turned over the kitchen a few times to no avail. I mean, what else could have happened to it? Not really an object to carry off to the outside world. Maybe it (and I) got lost in the euphoria of a well controlled simmer? ---- I finished The Discourses of Epictetus, and have grabbed Letters From A Stoic. Letters reads so much quicker, which is nice. Not sure if I mentioned it else where, but the copy of War and Peace I bought is a different translation than the one I started with from the library. Bad idea. I'm going to have to return to the library copy, I think.I have literally no idea where it is. I can't find it anywhere around the house, it's not in my car, and I've looked all over work. It's like a magical book gnome had picked it up, thumbed through it a bit, and decided it was a book worth going into their magical book gnome pouch.
