Vacation Autographs
Just back from vacation (watch for pictures soon…ish! I hope) and while I was mostly busy with family, I did convince them to detour to bookstores when we passed near them. There are now signed copies of Silver in the Barnes & Noble stores in Fredericksburg, VA; Warwick, RI; and Burlington, MA. Get ’em while…

Whiny Soup

I’m a little worn out, since my job has me working off-site at the moment, rehousing a collection, so there’s more travel time and learning about resources at the new location. But I thought I’d share with you the latest in what is apparently becoming a continuing series…

Dance!
Out visiting a friend in Colville, Washington this weekend, and got to see some Irish step dancing and listen to a really great band. I did Scottish and English Country dancing back in the day, rather than Irish, but they share some steps and have a very similar feel. It made me really long to…

Wolf Haven
Field trip, today! I maintain it was research related. (And it was! Sorta.) I headed on down to Wolf Haven, near Olympia. I went once in middle school as part of a camp field trip, and had very pleasant memories. I was extremely impressed on how well it held up. The volunteer who led our…
