I’m sitting outside the Oakland library in Pittsburgh. I just ate a lamb Kafka sandwich from Ali Baba’s, and I drank an Iced Cherry Chai Latte from Starbucks. The sun is warm on my back and I am rejoicing in this perfect Spring day.

Mid way through The Village Library Demon Hunting Society. I thought this would be more found family than it is. Main character is pretty alone after the first act. The last act will make or break this book for me.

If anyone has been thinking about freezing their credit in this uncertain time, I can tell you it’s easy. I had an Experian account already, I created an account with Trans Union and I called Equifax. It took me about half an hour tops. All three are frozen now.

I was 7 when my neighbor took me and his daughter to see ET. We sat in the first row and I stared up, up, up. Now, I mostly remember the Reese’s Pieces when I think of ET.
