A little late today. I drove up to my sister's house last night to watch the NCAA Division I Volleyball National Championship game between Nebraska and Stanford. I was, of course, cheering for Nebraska, but sadly they couldn't pull off winning the championship for the second straight year. They lost to Stanford in five … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 12/16/2018

Sunday Sum-Up
It's been a cold and gloomy week around here, capped by a weekend of snow, ice, and rain. And just as it happens every year, I did not get to spend my lone day off relaxing. I had to do a bunch of adulting, which included most of an hour spent on hold. Not … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Readers, it took every bit of willpower … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Quite the contrary. I've been spending time with my bookclub friends, went to see another friend's new … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up

Top Five Friday: Top Five Favorite Mystery Series
While I was deciding if I wanted to read more of Leonardo Padura's mystery novels starring Lieutenant Mario Conde (the answer? Probably not, given Conde's misogyny), I was thinking about what factors made me like a mystery series in general. A non-misogynistic detective, obviously, but what else? A dark, atmospheric tone? Witty repartee among the … Continue reading Top Five Friday: Top Five Favorite Mystery Series
