A few weeks ago, I reserved a copy of A Storm of Swords, the third Song if Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones book. That was far to difficult to say. It’s HBO’s fault. If they had titled the TV series the same as the book series, Song of Ice and Fire, instead of […]

Reading Spectrum
Late afternoon entries are becoming the new norm. I don’t like the new norm. I’m the one doing the writing so I should be able to do something about it. Too bad it doesn’t work that way. Yesterday I went to the library. I discovered that I couldn’t put an online hold on A Storm […]
I’ve become a late in the day blogger. I prefer writing in the morning because I think that’s easier for My Gentle Readers. Don’t blame me, blame my friends that have eaten into my blogging time.

I saw the other four acts on Sunday, Dan Rauchwerk in the afternoon at the Word Up Community Book store, then The Bright Siders, Kaia Kater, and Lula Wiles at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 1. That was the Smithsonian Folkways Women of Music APAP showcase. Civilians are allowed in. I end up at Rockwood most year on the Sunday of APAP

Oh, good, I’m starting to write before 10:00. I once again did not get enough sleep and will have to pay for it and some time but now I’m feeling fine. I just have to be awake to see Anaïs Mitchell doing Hadestown tonight. I’ve had tickets since they went on sale but I don’t […]
