Saturday Miscellany – 12/29/18

Sure, local/state governments had problems, small businesses were hurt, 911 centers weren’t able to operate, but the real victim of the CenturyLink outage was my blogging plans for the week. Well, okay, maybe not. But it sure seemed terribly inconvenient at the time. While it was a slow posting week, I did get a lot of reading done — I should wrap up work on my last reading challenge for 2018 today (knocked off another one yesterday), and nailed down a lot of plans for the next few weeks (I somehow have found myself committed to 8 books in January. Which isn’t that many, really, but it seems daunting). Hope your [insert preferred holiday name] week was good in whatever way you spent it.

Here’s the smattering of odds ‘n ends over the week about books and reading that caught my eye. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:

Lastly, I’d like to say hi and extend a warm welcome to february87 and Ontheminds for following the blog this week.

  1. Thanks for the shout out. Very cool!
    Happy New Reading Year!

  2. I’ll be praying for your recovery from the devastation of the CenturyLink outage.

    I deal with an ornery Verizon hotspot myself. It’s tough, but we must persevere.

    • ‘preciate the encouragement. Just have to remember that anything better than a 28.8 modem is a privilege, right?
