Today it was finally above freezing for a while, and it was like Tahiti, in comparison to the last few weeks. So lame. Give me spring, please. Forgive the radio silence. Was sick Sunday/Monday, actually had to take a day off to recoup. Spent it on the…
I have read two books already this year, so let’s get that going.1. (How exciting to type 1. again!) A Rule Against Murder– Louise Penny2. The Brutal Telling– Louise Penny Yes, I’m still obsessed with these cozy murder mysteries. Just like when I was reading through the…
One of the writers I’m friends with on Facebook posted a you-have-to-read-this! message yesterday about a book, and when I went to check it out: yep. Baseball. I hate baseball. I don’t hate sports. I like football and basketball, and I’ve been to and enjoyed soccer games…

My Gotham online class started today! Which means, basically, the tech guy opened the web floodgates and I can see what’s been posted so far: the class roster, the “lecture” for this week, the assignments, the schedule for student work submissions. Except for turning in some pages…
