The real question will be:  will Comcast give me some kind of deal to keep the TV for a period of time instead of canceling? ::)

They might, if you speak to the right person.

Someone posted that article on Tribel, and in one of the comments after it was this image:

DR George, by any chance is it easy for you to look and see if your library has an option for an eBook?  I am wondering about The Paris Assignment by Rhys Bowen.  Odds are you don't.

Yes, it's very easy to see if the library has an e-book.  And no, Timberland doesn't have that title.  Pierce County Library doesn't either.

Thank you for looking.  I have a library card for Pierce & my local library.  I think there is a conspiracy to force me to buy this book from Kindle.

I will continue to check my libraries and hope they eventually get the book.

Good Morning!  I guess I'll be going into work this morning.  <yawn>. I am really not looking forward to going back to school this year.  I've really enjoyed my days at home with my boys.  Speaking of which, DD JP is doing well.  Maybe a day or so left with the donut and the pen and he'll be a free little boy again. 

TOD:  Lately, I've been watching broadcasts of past Tony Awards.  They don't make them like they used to.  Such creativity went into those early broadcasts.  I can say that about a lot of things, though...

I found a YouTube channel that had more than two dozen (at least...maybe three) Tony Award broadcasts!  I've downloaded about half of them, so far.



The one from the past that I don’t like was the year of The Wiz and Shenandoah. They didn’t show selections from the nominated shows.

I am enjoying Emily. It’s Gothic and passionate and engrossing. And it makes Charlotte Bronte out to be a goody-two-shoes.

The movie is a great what-if, with the what-if being what if Emily Bronte’s life reflected Wuthering Heights?

Anne Bronte is kind of a cipher. But I loved her Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

There are some Kindle titles that just aren't made available to OverDrive, so there's that. ::)

It is happening more and more with authors I used to either check out from the library or purchase through Barnes & Noble.

It isn't the cost, the book is free with Kindle Prime (which I don't have) or only $5.99.

That price seems low for a just released book.

GasBuddy says it is $4.69 here.  I have no idea how accurate that number is.
