The day has gotten away from me, and I’m having a hard time putting together any coherent, bloggish thoughts (the wit). But wait, there’s sarcastic glamour, too. What caused this amazing passing of time? I’ve been dealing with RFID tracker gates that aren’t tracking a blessed thing. Like I said, very cool. Not only am…

Reading When There’s No Time
I started this great book a few months ago. It’s called The Experts’ Guide to Doing Things Faster: 100 ways to make life more efficient. Really, what’s not to like about that?! Lots of people who are experts in their field have written a few pages about how to do something quickly and well. It’s…

New Adventures
I led the library’s monthly mystery book club this morning. There’s usually only one attendee, which should make me sad. It doesn’t make me sad though, because that one attendee is fantastic. She and her husband (who will henceforth be known as Lady and Husband) totally made my day, and not in the Clint Eastwood…
Small, but valuable.
