That’s what Sue Nystrom tells herself when she considers her narrow escape that Sunday morning on Mount St. Helens.

A cold human resources director nicknamed Big Chill.
A teacher who tells the main character the faculty bathroom is for real teachers only.

These are some of the characters that fill the pages of Vancouver substitute teacher Carolyn Rose’s series of mystery novels.

As I sat in my booth at Line & Lure, I overheard my server, Denise Cheard, talk to the couple behind me. She asked if they wanted dessert and the man declined. Cheard responded, “No dessert? You’ve got to pace yourself, man.” He replied, “I went in too hard and fast.”
Fortunately for me, I had time to consider how to tackle the new Sunday seafood buffet at Line & Lure. My Grandpa Harry, a buffet champ, is no longer with us to guide me, so I consulted the internet. My favorite piece offering buffet advice was on Wiki-how (it included drawings). Overall, what I learned from the internet was: wear loose clothing, don’t wear any pants with buttons, drink water the day before to stretch your stomach, don’t show up starving, eat the expensive items on the buffet first, don’t fill up on carbs and soda, survey the entire buffet before loading your plate, and eat slowly.
