EXCUSES, EXCUSES

I am guilty. I don't read books; I listen. I can't focus on words on a page long enough to complete a book. not even a short book. Every time I read wonderful reviews of books written by people I know and like, I buy the book, though I know I won't read it. I … Continue reading EXCUSES, EXCUSES

BACK TO THE DRESDEN WORLD: READING THE SERIES AGAIN – Marilyn Armstrong

I really missed Jim Butcher and Harry Dresden. I missed Harry, the only wizard listed in Chicago's telephone book. I miss his huge furry dog Mouse. And his gigantic cat. I  miss his magical Chicago and the strange island in the middle of Lake Michigan.

COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, GUNS, AND US: NOT A RANT, JUST A RAMBLE

Yesterday, I tried to download a book from my Audible.com library and got a message telling me I didn't have adequate permission. I've been an Audible member since 2002 and I'm pretty sure I have more than adequate permissions. I tried what I thought I knew, then gave up and called Audible. Which is not … Continue reading COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, GUNS, AND US: NOT A RANT, JUST A RAMBLE

YOUR BUSINESS IS IMPORTANT TO US

It's an epidemic, a pandemic  -- of bad service. Do you remember when the customer was always right? I do. It wasn't that long ago. Customer satisfaction and service was the norm until approximately 2002, at which point everyone -- more or less simultaneously -- decided to save money by "automating" customer service, eliminating it entirely, or shipping it … Continue reading YOUR BUSINESS IS IMPORTANT TO US

AFTER THE END COMES RENEWAL: EARTH ABIDES

Earth Abides by George R. Stewart I first read this book 40 years ago. It wasn't new then having been written in 1949, yet it has stuck with me, despite having read thousands of books since. Earth Abides is sometimes referred to as "the original disaster" story, but it isn't a disaster story at all. It … Continue reading AFTER THE END COMES RENEWAL: EARTH ABIDES

15-MONTHS AND COUNTING – MY KINDLE FIRE HD

Amazon launched its new generation of Kindles this week. I built up a nice head of new gadget enthusiasm looking at these latest greatest Kindles. They have even higher resolution, more memory options and a faster processor. Then, I turned on my Kindle Fire HD and realized I don't need a new one. This one … Continue reading 15-MONTHS AND COUNTING – MY KINDLE FIRE HD
