Time and Place | It’s about 2 p.m. and I’m sitting in my favorite chair with the windows wide open behind me. It’s a beautiful day and I’m a little brain dead so this is going to be short! Reading | I read a lot yesterday. Thank you, Readathon. I’m not sure how much I will read [...]

Time and Place | About 10:15 on my couch. I’m getting a later start on blogging today because I spent the morning reading. Perfect. Eating and Drinking | I am in love with having a local Mexican restaurant. Thursday night was chimichangas and margaritas with two girlfriends. Amazing. Reading | I finished three books this week, The Unspeakable by Meghan [...]
Time and Place | 7:20 a.m. on my couch. I went to sleep really early both nights this weekend, mostly so I could be up early and enjoy the quiet. Quiet weekend mornings are my favorites. Reading | I didn’t get much reading done during the week — I was feeling emotionally strung out — so I made [...]
Briefly | It’s been a bit of a rough week. A couple of really wonderful people in our community passed away after long struggles with cancer, and although I didn’t know them well I know they are going to be missed by many, many people. Time and Place | Just before 7:30 a.m. on my parents’ couch. Reading | [...]
Time and Place | Just after 10 a.m. sitting on my couch. We had friends over last night and ended up hanging out with them until far past my bed time… it’s been a slow morning. Reading | It’s been a good week of reading! I spent most of the week reading That’s Not English by Erin Moore, [...]
Time and Place | About 7:30 a.m. in my favorite chair at home. I don’t like how dark it is this early in the morning, thanks to the time change. But oh well, it’s spring now. Reading | I finished more books in the last two days than I finished in the rest of the month of [...]
Time and Place | I think it’s about 9 a.m.? I know that I’m on my sister’s couch in Minneapolis. Daylight Saving Time always messes with me a little bit. Reading | This week I finished The Monopolists by Mary Pilon. This narrative history of the board game Monopoly was perfectly in my wheelhouse of readable, quirky nonfiction. [...]
Briefly | I spent a good chunk of time yesterday doing some behind the scenes blog work, upgrading my current theme, then trying to make the blog do and act like I want it too. This is still a major work in progress, so I hope you’ll forgive the mess for the next few weeks while [...]
Time and Place | 8:00 a.m. on my couch, with my warmest fleece blanket on my lap. Reading | It’s been a really fantastic week of reading. I finished three books: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, and Americanah by Chimamande Ngozi Adichie. They were all great, in their own ways — I’m hoping [...]
Time and Place | About 7:50 a.m. on Sunday morning, sitting at my desk. Reading | This week was very busy, so I didn’t get much reading done — I finished up Eye on the Struggle by James McGrath Morris (a biography of African American journalist Ethel Payne) and Hammer Head by Nina MacLaughlin (March 16 from W.W. Norton), [...]
