Staying at a local hotel. I forgot my glasses and one of my allergy drugs. And cash. And Diet Coke, which I really should have considered. I could theoretically drive home to get them, but am not inclined to fight the traffic. Happily, things… Continue Reading “Coordinating a Conference This Week”

I was not disappointed. Two adopted boys meet their birth mother when she is hit by a car rescuing one of… Continue Reading “Run, by Ann Patchett”
Not long ago, I was informed by Facebook that my friend Melissa started a gourmet pretzel business. She posted that she would be at the Morton Grove Farmers Market on Saturday, so I headed over early. The Farmers Market doesn’t open for… Continue Reading “DiPPED”

But the summary didn’t grab me. Then it was picked for my book club and I loved it.… Continue Reading “A Spot of Bother, by Mark Haddon”
I was thinking about this when babbling about my hair, then decided that no one was interested. Particularly people I know in Real Life who have heard the lecture before. However, Miss Sarah was just writing about a fear of the dentist, so it… Continue Reading “More about Being the Client”
More yarn from the sale at Michael’s: Loops & Threads Impeccable Yarn in Luxury, Lavender and Aqua.
