I guess I'm it.

I have been more busy lately than I ever could have imagined. So much so that it takes getting tagged by another blogger to get me to post. It's late and it's an early morning for me tomorrow, so this is gonna be quick.

Tagged by: Matt @ larsenopolis.
Post: Busted.
Meme: The 123 Meme.
Rules: (1) Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating! (2) Turn to page 123. (3) Find the first 5 sentences. (4) Post the next 3 sentences. (5) Tag 5 people.

Lucky for me, I just put down a book of 123 pages or more on my keyboard. The Roland JV-80 next to the computer. Not the computer keyboard. If I had done that, this entry would read more like 08u9q3f0-q3v0-0un[v4wjnp[9cP9B.

I'll give you the sentences first. :-)

"Holmes knocked without receiving any answer, and then tried to turn the handle and force it open. It was locked on the inside, however, and by a broad and powerful bolt, as we could see when we set our lamp up against it. The key being turned, however, the hole was not entirely closed."

This is from The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Volume 2 - The story is "The Sign of The Four." Holmes is about to discover the first body on the other side of that door. What he and Dr. John Watson see through the door is left to the reader to discover.

Aren't you glad I didn't pick the dictionary?

Now... 5 people? I have to tag 5 people? I don't even know 5 other bloggers to tag. I'll just tag two and hope for the best. Karen. Marco. You've been tagged.

Good luck.
