Ughāāincestā not invest. Seriously? Autocorrect is now censoring me. Not merely messing me up. The upside is that it seems to see the obscenity in todayās investment industry

My sister and I used to be very close. Things are . . . tense these days. But Dad getting older & our brother with dementia is only part of the strain. She takes care of Dad and I do my best to take care of Jeff. I still hope she has a great birthday.

I am five episodes in to House of the Dragon and only because I have been asked by someone who wants to share it with me. Plot device, intrigue, violence, drama only take me so far. Honestly, how the hell does one love a story when there is no character to actually give a damn about?

Iām thrilled this is getting traction, so let be add this: If you want and are able, write to or show up at your local town, borough, county, or municipality council and tell your story. Share how important your local public library is to you. Statistics are important but so is advocacy.

This this this! Itās the first thing I say when people ask how they can help the library. The second thing is show up, use our services. Come get your copies here instead of at Staples, weāre cheaper and the more you use us, the better are stats. The better our stats, the more our funding rises.

Iām surprised you have to say this. I canāt imagine DMing a literary magazine to say, hey, can I send you some poems? Thereās no clearer way to show that you have not even attempted to research how it works.
