Good afternoon!

Hi, Tom!

I'm working on evaluations for my staff. They're good people, but I just don't like doing these, nor do I write quickly.

Hello, everyone.

Congrats to TCB! I hope you'l have an opportunity to do the role again.

It was a stressful week for me, too. I mentioned the tire trouble the other day, plus there were some other annoyances. Nothing horrible, but it got to me. Too much at once, I think.

Congratulations, TCB! I'm glad you had such a successful show!

An astrologer I know sends out emails from time to time. One came the other day that mentioned all sorts of potential problems. Her bottom line: lay low.

Yesterday I ordered a pair of computer glasses from Warby Parker. I like many of their frames and their prices are VERY good. First time ordering from an online optician. They now have a couple bricks-and-mortar stores in LA, which helps, though I like their free home try-ons, which anyone can do. We shall see how this works out.

I am slowly reading THE LAST BUS TO WISDOM by Ivan Doig. It is also his last book. Doig who is one of my favorite authors passed away in April. It is bittersweet knowing this will be the last book of his I will read for the first time. He was only 76.

We had the good fortune to hear him speak and he was just as wonderful in person, maybe more so, as his writing. I rate him as the best author I have seen/heard speak.

Just because he died, that doesn't mean that it'll be his last book. There could be other books that he was writing, just not yet published. Even if they weren't finished, there could be enough written that someone else could finish them. It happens all the time.

He wrote his last 4 books while he battled cancer. I suppose it is possible he began another book but I would be surprised it hasn't been mentioned. I suspect he knew he would not be able to finish another novel.

The book begins with a quote from Jack Kerouac :On the Road" that not only fits the book but the fact that it is his last.

What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing?-it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.

Or with my knowledge I'm reading more into the quote.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

DR George I went to the eBook library to put a hold on a book in my wishlist. It said "no longer available". I am shocked. Is this common in Washington?

It's not a Washington issue. Some rights are based on the number of check-outs (26 or 52 are common) and once it reaches that number, it's no longer available until your library rebuys it. Rights can also based on time owned. Some can be one year or two years, then they're gone.

I thought libraries weren't purchasing books with this limitation. I wish I had been told when I put it on my wishlist-guess that would be difficult for them to do.

Maybe they will renew the purchase, before I buy it.

Yup. Thanks for answering my question.

Each library can decide if it wants to purchase e-books that have these restrictions, but if they don't, their patrons won't get those books at all.

Very true. I just wish I had known to hurry up and read it-lol.

Very. They could have fought us on that. I'm sure the horrid other furniture store would have. The repairman did return today and fix the buffet and take the extra, mismatched part they sent us. He said he would send an email for them to pick up the chair that doesn't work, which they should have done multiple phone calls ago.

George · « **Reply #113 on:** December 04, 2015, 06:28:44 PM »

Well, it's time for me to leave work and go to my parents' house. My sister and niece are there, so hopefully they'll stay for a while after I get there.

Be back later!

Finished the Bosch series, and The Danish Girl has arrived, along with something called Suffragette.

Jane · « **Reply #115 on:** December 04, 2015, 06:40:34 PM »

I've read the Bosch books, not sure I want to watch the series. I'm curious about Suffragette.

Jane · « **Reply #116 on:** December 04, 2015, 06:48:37 PM »

Apparently, prior to reading "The Man in the High Castle" I requested the Ashland library order it. It just came in. Having just watched the series,which is rather different from the book, I want to re-read the ending of the novel.

It was a glorious day and I took three walks. My evening one was especially beautiful.

We are watching the movie Man from Uncle...I know that is not how it is typed.
