Just finished After I Do, by Taylor Jenkins Reid (very good).

Now I’m about halfway through Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (also good, but not as good as the one mentioned above).

Anyone have any new recommendations in fiction?

Mine was actually pretty accurate.

River next?

Eating a "healthy quesadilla" and proofreading. Not sure exactly what's in this quesadilla, but it's supposed to be healthy.

He realized he had a hankerin' for a Vlasic dill pickle, so he went into the house, opened the refrigerator, only to discover that his wife had eaten the last pickle and only left a jar of pickle juice with a couple of random stems floating on top.

My students left about 10 minutes ago and now I'm killing time until I can go home. There are work-ish things I should be doing, but I'm not doing them.

Nope!

Mike?

I'm not sure I'd see it that way. For me, I'd have to wonder about someone having so few interests that they have to actually list shopping as a hobby. Kind of like when someone lists sex as a hobby. Good grief.

Did it go public yet? I wanna know who it is!!!



WOTS is that, as usual, I'm out of the loop.

So glad, River!



OT: My students are at recess and it's my lunch break. I had a white mocha delivered from Starbucks. Today is a better day than yesterday!

That's wonderful, River! So happy for you! I'm missing my daughters lately too.

I'm old school, and I think it's more chivalrous for the guy to travel to meet the girl first, or to meet at a neutral place.

When Mark and I first met, he wanted to come here to see me, but the country I'm living in had closed borders due to Covid. So he actually bought me a flight to the U.S. to visit him.

Now we take turns visiting each other. This past Christmas we met in a third country (Germany).

I don't think one partner should do all the traveling, or pay for all the flights. I also don't think that people should even entertain the thought of a LDR unless your eyes are wide open to all that entails. It's definitely not easy. But it can be worth it.

Nice, River! I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time!

Horseback. Camels are not comfortable.

Electronic books/audio books or hard cover?

Stuck in traffic

River now?

Saying hi to Storm


And trying to come up with some creative ideas for a committee I'm on.
