Read moreHuh. It looks like we have to live with the typos in replies. Is that true?
Read more📚 I loved Treasure Island as a kid. Still do. I keep wanting to recommend it to my grandson, but he’s still grappling with the concept of reading for fun. I realize my sample size is quite small. Is the current crop of middle schoolers indifferent to books?
Read moreNew battery for the car, $280. Being able to get to Grand Marais next week, priceless. Side note: the original battery lasted 13 years so I’m not complaining.
Read moreIt’s a beautiful day here in Minnesota.
Read more📚I usually try to keep two books going. One from Audible and one on the Kindle. Currently listening to Ellis Peter’s The Pilgrim of Hate and reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Read more📚Finished the Audible version of The Three Musketeers a while back. Impressive narration by John Lee and a great story to boot.
Read more📚Finished N. K. Jemisin’s The Obelisk Gate, and so on to another book. I’ll read The Stone Sky in a bit, but I’m going to tackle Bruce Catton’s Terrible Swift Sword first. It’s the second volume in his Centennial History of the Civil War. I read this quite some time ago, but memory fades.

Read more📚Picked up The Obelisk Gate again after having set it aside for nearly a year. I was getting too deeply invested in the characters, so I left it for a time. Now I’m back to enjoying it. Anyone else left a book you liked for a while and then come back to it? Why?

Read moreShouldn’t have had that cup of coffee at dinner. Dang.
Read moreNewbie here. Micro.blog sure ain’t twitter. But twitter sure ain’t micro.blog. Different feels in each.
Read moreI’ll miss you Aretha.
Read moreAhh. Beautiful sleep. Why dost thou elude me?
Read moreSo, up early tomorrow to head to Florida. I’ll be a bit north of the red tide.
Read moreTHREE NOTEBOOKS?
A bullet journal, a long-form personal journal, and a project-based notebook/sketchbook. I may have a problem. Briefly tried consolidating, but that was a failed experiment.
Read moreI wish to thank Kirk McElhearn for the clear instructions on rebuilding iTunes Library.itl.
