Falling Short of My Ambitious Reading Goal Again
Goodreads is controversial for some people but I still use it to track my reading habits. They have a yearly “Reading Challenge” (everyone can set their own preferred amount) and my end of year report claims I’m in the “top 25%” of their readers having hit 88% of my goal.…

Cleanup
If I haven’t been online much it’s because I am still so very busy cleaning my apartment, from the fire that destroyed my neighbors home. The fire was contained but smoke entered every apartment and left an ash residue that coated every inch of the building. It’s been about a…

New York State Fair 2023
My daughter and I went to the New York State Fair, since we live in the city where it’s held each year. Its not the sort of thing I would personally travel to see, but they do have tons of unusual food options and cute animals on exhibit so it’s…
