"I really need to learn to shave someday," Monk mutters in the first few minutes of his shave, hacking away at the brush on his chin. But after about ten minutes, he was relieved to start making headway.
And I am pretty pleased with a bald face. All that straggly hair really is hideous. Though, this face bald is no prize, either.
Anyway, we're ready for the library season. This week I think. I finished Caesar a few days ago, and am ready to go when I finish the Hard Case Crime pocketbook "Say It With Bullets". Maybe we'll leave on Wednesday. Thursday would be better, but once I finish, I don't think I'll be able to wait, but will rush off the next day, unless Pop has some business to take care of.

After shaving and showering, Monk had an ugly episode with Bo. The eskie started hacking up as if to throw up, and he sends the dog out. Then Monk joins him. When they come back inside Bo resumes hacking up, even though he had entirely stopped the whole time they were outside, and this ignites Monk's anger, and he kicks Bo back outside. After bringing him back inside, Bo becomes hesitant about heeding Monk's call to go into the theater, and Monk grabs him roughly by the neck and kicks him into the room. And Bo feels it. The eskie slinks deep into the laundry room and he keeps his head turned away from Monk throughout the afternoon reading session.
Monk is left wondering how he could do this to the old boy. Usually he feels so good after a shave and shower, feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Then I realize that it is precisely because he was feeling so refreshed that he got angry. Monk didn't want to go out in the hot sun and get sweaty and feel dirty. Not a good reason. There can be no good reason. But that is what happened.
I gave Bo bigger scraps from my dinner, and all seems fine. But stop pushing your luck, tough guy. Bo is the greatest love of your life.
