Knitter, reader, retired librarian. Owned by two cats.
My daughter had a Chem teacher “Doc”. They were in their newly refurbished classroom two weeks before Doc blew up an experiment and stained the ceiling. His first period class got hot chocolate. He celebrated Pi Day. Doc was loved and regularly visited by graduated kids.

Keating did too. I’m composing a strongly worded letter expressing my disappointment

I thought of you two when I heard about the Newfoundland fires. I hope you remain safe

As I used to tell my staff, “The beatings will stop when morale improves!”

That was when I was a new librarian in the Free Library system. When the strike was ended, I got laid off because Mayor Rizzo wanted to close the library. I eventually got called back, almost 2 years later

I’ve always said that Williams has the prettiest campus in New England, second only to Middlebury College in Vermont

I was walking by a hotel in Boston on a January morning and noticed a guy with two big bodyguards on the steps. Our eyes met, nods and “good mornings”, he said it was cold, I said “sure is”. Moment over. I figured out later that it was Russell Crowe, as the Globe said he was staying there

And thank you for supporting your local library. With the potential cancellation of the IMLS which provides federal funding for libraries, they’ll need all the help they can get

That should make the White House mice flee in terror

I wish I could go but I have a graduation to go to. I promise to wave at every demonstration I drive by.

Nice. So ladylike. As I used to ask the mouthy kids in my library, “ You kiss your mother with that mouth?”

Who I write checks to: my piano teacher; my hairdresser; the local farm stand; the guy down the street who sells honey; my women’s club. However, I never balance my checkbook
