I don’t think I am going to go outside the house today. I might go as far as the end of the driveway, but that’s it. If I thought yesterday was crazy, I am sure today will be even more insane. The people in the stores were still pretty nice and calm, but there were so many of them! On the roads people were CRAZY! I think I saw a few driving on the shoulder to get ahead of two cars and save themselves 2 minutes. In all fairness, we could all use a couple extra minutes. I am not willing to drive on the shoulder for it, but I might jog 20 feet back to my car to get there sooner. Let’s be clear… I didn’t. Jogging is the worst. Today I will spend my time making sure I have everything I need for the next two days. Then coming to terms with the fact that what I don’t have I wont get. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!! Stay sane… or insane. Whichever makes you happier.

THE DETECTIVE
DC Rutherford Barnes is young, good-looking and ambitious — perhaps too ambitious for his own good. His all-consuming desire for promotion makes him vulnerable to temptation. His happy marriage to nursery school teacher Eve is marred only by the couple’s inability to conceive, leading Barnes to throw himself headlong into his work.
THE SETTING
Set against the picturesque landscape of the South Downs, the Sussex seaside town of Eastbourne is packed with tourists during the summer — but it can seem pretty dismal during the winter months. Only fifty-odd miles from London, the town is not immune to the violence which occasionally spills over from the city. Pockets of deprivation and criminality exist alongside reminders of Eastbourne’s more genteel past in the grand Victorian hotels that line the seafront, the pier and the bandstand. The town also boasts one of Britain’s best-known — and most infamous — beauty spots, Beachy Head.
