CHANGE OF SCENERY – 13-16 JANUARY 2021
For safety, of course, options for travel, diners out, movies, and the like are limited, and best should simply be avoided. But a CHANGE OF SCENERY can help, and I have found a great way (for me) to enjoy a … Continue reading

I got back from the Post Office shortly after 3PM on Wednesday, changed into pajamas, and have no desire, or need to go out until mid-Friday. Most years recently I have visited the boys, or dined out with a friend. … Continue reading
INTRODUCING – LADY RAB III – 20 November 2020
One of the pleasures I had with my “open bookshops” in Haddonfield, New Jersey, (1990-1995), and then in New Preston, Connecticut from 1995-2002, is that when I woke up I did not know what I would own at the end … Continue reading

A BREAK – ONE HOUR and TWO CENTURIES AWAY – 10-12 NOVEMBER 2020
I needed a break, we all need a break. But, I am afraid that taking a traditional break, and get-away could be a year away. Just a change of scenery is rejuvenating, and helpful, even if like me, you … Continue reading
