I am finishing this up very late. I saved the articles and books in piles, meaning to finish my recommended reading list as I read. But the events of the spring and early summer prevented me from doing much more than my writing and the work I needed to do to keep my business alive. […]
Continue ReadingI started out reading great guns at the beginning of March and then…I have no idea. Life, maybe? The time change did zing me more than I expected, and I had to study for midterms, but those were gone by mid-month and my reading declined in the second half of the month. So I have […]
