Let me set the scene: I like to read when I go to bed at night. Our headboard has individual reading lights so when Lucie goes to sleep, she leaves my side on and turns hers off. My bookmark is a solid, thin metal bar with an anchor at the top that slides over the spine of the book with the thin metal part in page crease. So there I am, reading in the mostly-darkness, and out of nowhere something comes flying across the room and hits me smack in the middle of the chest. That made me jump. Now I have to find out not only what it was, but where it went! In true Christmas spirit, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter... Then my nose identified what it was - STINK BUG! Whooey! And it was on my arm. They don't bother me much, but I don't like them crawling on me in the middle of the night. I walked gingerly to the bathroom to flick it into the toilet but it took off and headed into my closet. Which means in a few days I will pull a shirt out and it's dusty carcass will come tumbling out. I went back to bed and flopped down - right on top of my anchor bookmark! My spring sprang again!
