I have a reoccurring nightmare that I can’t get out of #Sweden, mostly because I forget when my flight is and where the airport is located and what day it is. The upside is that I kind of move to Sweden. I just wish I could relax into it more. 🇸🇪

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

There’s a certain kind of man, my FIL for example, who will read you book, say nothing about it but eagerly point out the typo he found. He will then expect you to laugh and be grateful for his close reading. #authors #books #thetroublewithmen

Quite very stoked about the new Ocean Beach Park (real name TBD) in progress mere blocks from our house. It's been a blessing since covid and nows it's going to be a real thing.
