Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting a “Little Women/Jo-shouldn’t-have-married-Professor-Bhaer” reference in the first five pages of Stormy Daniels’ book. But there it is.

December 7, 2018 at 1:42 pm Turned on radio mid-absolutely-wonderful-interview with an author— and eventually was pleasantly thrilled that it was George Saunders. Oh how I love him.
Apparently he was a geophysical engineer in college. Somehow that makes sense.

Ink refills for my favorite pens cost more than buying the new pens whole. Why?? Alas. I did pay the dollar more for the refills. I don’t want the guilt of seeing a Uniball Signo stuck in a turtle’s nose...

Chromebook / non-Mac people! I need your help!

His requirement: Backlit keyboard.
My requirement: As the person responsible for family tech support, I'd prefer it not make me want to smash it to bits whenever I have to do things to it.
