Since getting Radar, we’ve of course been out and about for walks way more often than we used to. We’ve been in this house for nearing two decades, and I’ve never been out walking two or three times a day — often before the sun is up, because why just be out in sub-zero temperatures…
Definitely a slower pace this month than in January thanks to actually stepping away from books a bit and checking out some of the excellent TV shows being made these days and we’re paying for access to anyway (if you can, do check out The Night Agent, Prime Target, Mythic Quest, and Welcome To Wrexham)…
I’d like you to cast your mind all the way back to… er… a month ago — was it only that recent? — when Trump started his second term as president and evidently decided that a wrecking ball made a handy tool to get some things changed. I won’t bother with a list of those…
I’ve changed email service providers. It’s for reasons I won’t bother getting into here, and I didn’t do it lightly, but it was something I felt I had to do. I had expected that change to take some effort, but suffice to say, working to fully make the swap to the new service has been……
Wow. Well… shows what I can do when I set my mind on something and actually stick to it. At the end of my Top 10 books of last year post, I mentioned that I was setting a goal of reading (/listening to) 50 books in 2025. Gotta say, I’m off to a better start…
This wasn’t a good week for fans of Neil Gaiman or Protonmail. First and way more importantly, Neil Gaiman, for decades my favourite writer, was outed as a serial woman abuser. Last I read, eight women in total have come forward with varying stories over years of abuse by him. I’ve long believed the victim…
A slow start, followed by some technical glitches with this website that disrupted by usual monthly posts of what I read — and just what did I read in February, March and April of this year? We’ll never know, because what I did remember to record either wasn’t posted here or disappeared if it was….
I recently saw a social media post about someone having just completed their goal of reading 40 books this year. It got me to thinking… hey, maybe I could do that. I don’t mean actually read-read them — at my slow pace? No chance — but get through 40 readable books plus audiobooks in a…
Whoo, boy, what a difference it’s been with these audiobooks. Both for good and… well… less good. Here’s what I got through this month. ReadThe Rhythm of Time – Questlove, S.A. CosbyFour Minutes – Brian Andrews, Jeffrey WilsonWe’re All In This Together… So Make Some Room – Tom PapaFunny You Should Say That – Gerry…
Another year done already? Craziness! As per usual, I’ve been taking in all the music I can reasonably get and adding songs to this year’s playlist (now sitting at exactly 100 songs from this year) as well as my ever-growing, various playlists for myriad purposes.Want to chill and read? Got a playlist for that.On my…
