It's been an interesting past couple of weeks, with plans going awry and being put into place at almost the last minute. And in this liminal space between Christmas and New Year's Day, I've been working hard to finish projects before the stroke of midnight tonight. So I'll be back to properly writing again soon … Continue reading Happy New Year!

Sunday Sum-Up: December 18, 2022
Given that the last time I was sick was January 2020, I'd forgotten how long it takes for me to recover from a cold. It's not fun. I'd like to not do it again for a while. And I'm doubly glad that I've gotten both my Covid and flu shots. Obligatory Mina Photo: I pulled … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: December 18, 2022

November Summary, December Preview
How is it that November always goes so quickly? Most of the month was cold and windy, seasoned with snow flurries and a bit of rain. We could use some more precipitation around here, so if anyone wants to send us some of their snow or rain, I'd appreciate it. Having fire weather in winter … Continue reading November Summary, December Preview
Sunday Sum-Up: December 4, 2022
It's been a blustery week around here with the kind of wind that makes it difficult to open doors, keep hats on, and otherwise go about one's business outside.

Try a Chapter Challenge
Like most readers, I own a lot of unread books. It's hard to resist cheap, interesting-looking books at the used bookstore or the library sale shelves. But as I have limited shelf space for new(er) books, I need to go through them now and then and get rid of the books I'm not going to … Continue reading Try a Chapter Challenge
Sunday Sum-Up: November 27, 2022
Just a quick update today, and nothing about books. Between work, travel, and spending time with friends and family, I barely had time to myself, so I read almost nothing. I'll talk about what little I read last week in next week's sum-up. This time around, I'll talk about, let's be honest, the only thing … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up: November 27, 2022
