I don’t know if I understand Vanya, but I love the film, Vanya on 42nd Street.

I don’t know if there’s an Uncle Vanya dance.

I've had a nice, refreshing bath, and I'm pleased the chicken turned out well. Thatch did not panic or start crying so that was a bonus.

Roast chicken is the best. Did Thatch get a bite?

Well, the rumor is that the power won't be back until 2:30!  They're having a meeting to decide what to do, so we may go home, or not.

Darn...the power's back. :P

I would hope they would send you home.

They had some powered-up laptops, so I would have been able to do some work, but now I can do it on my real computer.

To me, traveling with cats sounds like it requires more patience than I have.

How many romance novels around bookstores and libraries are there? Booked on a Feeling is the latest. What does that even mean? They commit crimes of passion and get booked at the local police department?

https://mymodernmet.com/olivia-and-dan-nguyen-traveling-with-cats/

This article is too precious for words, and I bet those cats hate their ribbons and names.

The thought of traveling with Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella is too frightening to approach seriously. It would be like going camping with Larry, Curly, and Moe. Or Chico, Harpo, and Groucho.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  SW Ohio is having some beautiful weather.  It’s still warm, but the humidity has dropped - sorta like Michigan!

No, Thatch got no chicken. Every time I offer the cats some chicken they refuse to eat it.

From DR John:

Quote
Last comment on The Personal Librarian. In the first half of the book, Belle refers to Lily Dale without mentioning she's the lead character in Edith Wharton's House of Mirth. That book would have come out about two years prior to the date of the mention and would not have been the classic character that she became in time.

Later in the novel, Belle's lover becomes Edith Wharton's lover and no connection is made. In fact, we never get the feeling that Belle has an opinion on Wharton, much less her work.

I wouldn't have picked up on any of this.  Thank you for all of your insightful comments.

If I may chime in here…

Many of my friends have raved about this book, but I do not like the author’s writing.  My book group read her book about Albert Einstein’s wife and it made me want to take her (the author’s) thesaurus away from her.  That’s one reason I’ve avoided The Personal Librarian.

The other reason is that I’ve already read a nonfiction book that tells the same story and is very well-written.  It’s An Illuminated Life by Heidi Ardizzone.
