Tales of Futures Past
From February’s snow days to nights in March spent on the couch after working my temporary job, I’ve had a bit of reading time.

I get my exercise on trips to the Library, and I’m combing through the PBS listings. I read Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink, which is as thought provoking as you’d expect, and another book,…

Hey Kids! Comics!
Blustery and frigid winter has made February its home here. We got a mild November and December, January could not make up its mind, but the last 2 weeks have been definitive, lock down winter. We even have snow, of which the Squish approves. I feel cheated when it’s frigid and brown. I love the…
