Saturday, June 27, 2015. The Lone Arranger: Succeeding in a Small Repository by Christina Zamon (2012). A little light professional reading sometimes sneaks into my pile, and that was exactly the case with. The Lone Arranger: Succeeding in a Small Repository. By Christina Zamon (2012). Archivists refer to themselves as "Lone Arrangers" if they, like me, are a one-person outfit. Aren't archivists hilarious? Links to this post. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Links to this post. Friday, June 19, 2015. Find out mor...

spacebeer: Helsinki Noir, edited by James Thompson (2014)
http://spacebeer.blogspot.com/2015/07/helsinki-noir-edited-by-james-thompson.html
Sunday, July 05, 2015. Helsinki Noir, edited by James Thompson (2014). As a big crime fiction / noir-y stuff fan, I'm pretty excited about the extensive regionally-based "Noir" series, part of which is the book Helsinki Noir. And I'm really excited about some Texas-based crime stories. More on that later.). Note: I received a review copy of this book from the LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

spacebeer: Bull Rider by Suzanne Morgan Williams (2009)
http://spacebeer.blogspot.com/2015/07/bull-rider-by-suzanne-morgan-williams.html
Friday, July 03, 2015. Bull Rider by Suzanne Morgan Williams (2009). I won this copy of Bull Rider. By Suzanne Morgan Williams (2009) in a raffle about a year ago and, even though it didn't seem like the kind of book I'd really like at all, I read it because I am a ridiculous woman. So, yeah: this is a young adult novel, for boys, with a patriotic / military theme, and bull riding. None of which am I super into. And yet, this book was really good! I think this would be a great book for a teenager dealing...

spacebeer: Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi (2005)
http://spacebeer.blogspot.com/2015/05/embroideries-by-marjane-satrapi-2005.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi (2005). My latest selection from the St. Denis bookshelf in exile is Embroideries. By Marjane Satrapi (2005). I read Persepolis. For my DAFFODILS book club several years ago and really enjoyed it and its perspective on the experiences of Iranian women, so checking out another one of Satrapi's books sounded like fun.

Friday, July 31, 2015. The Spy Who Loved Me by Ian Fleming (1962). The Spy Who Loved Me. By Ian Fleming (1962) is the ninth novel in his James Bond series and by far the least beloved. Links to this post. Sunday, July 26, 2015. STAPLE roundup: Everything else. In addition to the Jack: Adventures in Texas' Big Bend. Comics by Chris Ruggia and some truly fun movie monster. And cats in movies. Prints I bought for framing and gifts, these three comics are the rest of my haul from the 2015 STAPLE! This is a r...

Nimble Pundit: Simmery
http://nimblepundit.blogspot.com/2015/07/simmery.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Morning thunderstorm, the sky was getting darker as I was driving to work. On Monday Kat played softball and we expected to roast. We had a heat advisory, hot and humid, but enormous clouds were drifting around as well. Play was stopped due to lightning, then restarted in light rain, then called off when the storm line continued right over the field. Bun's last game is tonight and then Freedom! From softball schedules at least. Kat will perform with her circus school at the rena...

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Thank goodness for roots. I had to do a general purge of veg things that were squishy last weekend. I haven't yet been out to the garden to see if we have any small whales of yellow squash lurking I have potatoes and a couple of farm zukes so I will need to make potato/veggie fritters. The recipe is in my favorite pancake class of foods. I made banana pancakes to use the swarthy bananas. I modified this recipe. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Birding moments in DC: watching an osprey di...

Nimble Pundit: November 2014
http://nimblepundit.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. One of my childhood Christmas favorites brought to you by Hugo Winterhalter and his orchestra. The vocalist's name is Judy Valentine, a stage name if I ever heard one. I do love her funny chirpy voice. Wikipedia tells all. She was Bozo's sidekick and worked with Carol Spinney and is still with us. Bless you, Judy. I include Wednesday's notes to appreciate the sheer power of the tedium. Early to bed, crankiness and a trip to the pharmacy. What's next, tax returns? I even fried a...

Nimble Pundit: Warp and weft
http://nimblepundit.blogspot.com/2015/08/warp-and-weft.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Oldest child sent via Southwest's hands-off. Care to grandma in ABQ. She assisted Granny in getting an iphone yesterday and I got some texts later so progress is being made. I know my mother is not liking the smart phone learning curve but K is a good coach, if a little impatient. K will have a private aerial silks lesson at the local circus school today. I look forward to hearing about it tonight. So they both enjoyed it. E was saying it reminded her of Wales. Maybe I need to t...

Monday, June 29, 2015. Was waiting for picture downloads but that's not the way to run a railroad. First beach outing at Atlantic Beach. There were rollers and dophins and it was so delightful. Went in the salt water almost every day. Wildlife of wonderful variety: fish, wild horses, pelicans, crabs (ghost, fiddler, hermit, horseshoe), shore birds, sea turtles! Tuesday, June 16, 2015. At a NC beach last Sunday was hard for me to read about. We'll be looking for local safety info wherever we go. Is a ridi...
