Time and Place // 8:20 a.m. at my desk at home (for the third weekend in a row!) Eating and Drinking // A banana and black tea Reading // After finishing four books in a single weekend, I spent most of this week with a chunkster (720 pages!) of a biography, Elizabeth the Queen by Sally [...]

Briefly // This post is getting up awfully late on Sunday because I spent the entire morning cuddled up on my couch with a couple of great books. That was the best way I could have spent Sunday morning, although perhaps not the best use of my time. Time and Place// 1:30 at my desk [...]

Time and Place // 9:00 a.m. on my couch, although I will have to switch to the computer soon. Eating and Drinking // Chobani Peach Greek yogurt and black tea Reading // I had a slow reading week. I’m in the middle of a book about the history of “irregular” medicine (think early herbalists and phrenology) [...]

Briefly // The weather has managed to throw wrenches into my plans twice this week. I was supposed to drive to Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon for the Minnesota Newspaper Association convention, but a blizzard warning all day kept me at home until Thursday morning.

Reading // Despite my incredible optimism that I would read all the books over my Christmas break, I only managed to finish two: Priscilla by Nicholas Shakespeare (Jan. 15 from [...]

I fully intended to have this post written and published about three hours ago. Then I got absorbed reading Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and  my whole morning disappeared. C’est la vie. Time // 12:02 p.m. Place // The usual, my cluttered desk in my chilly house. Eating // Chocolate chip cookies and raspberries, the breakfast of champions. I’m not [...]

Time and Place // Happy Sunday, everyone. I’m coming to you from the couch at my parent’s house, avoiding my inevitable drive back home this afternoon. We had our first snow this week, but it’s been so cold I didn’t manage to take any photos — just a shot of the frost inside my car [...]
