What <i>don't</i> we break in my house? I've lost count. I've also gotten to the point where I either take it to get fixed or get the replacement rather than waiting on my spousal unit to take care of it. He's a dear, but engineers are just a whole 'nother breed! Anyway, I've had my e-copy of King's Mistress for some time now and loved it!
