Started this the other day—supposed to be a forerunner of modern espionage/spy stories. Feels like the plot is only just beginning to appear, about a quarter of the way in. But it’s got a comfortable Sherlock-Holmesy Englishness to it, and I’m enjoying the dynamics between the main two guys on their increasingly mysterious, out-of-season sailing cruise.

Last night’s beer flight at Royal Oak Brewing. First time there. The “Chai Tea Mild” was pretty nice — overshadowed the rest with its pretty niceness.
