Grounded!

Seattle, Washington

I have been off my bike for almost a week now, grounded by the snow and ice. So, "books on bikes" have temporarily morphed into "books on foot." I just finished listening to another wonderful book by Amor Towles: The Lincoln Highway and am now working on the 2nd book a lighter trilogy: The Secret Keeper of Jaipur. Good company as I pick way way gingerly along the icy roads and sidewalks!

More "books on bikes":

• "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles (wow!)
• "The Secret Keeper of Jaipur" by Alka Joshi

A beautiful sight

Seattle, Washington

This most beautiful weather report greeted me this morning. And around Lake Washington I went. Listening to a new podcast ("Soul Music" on BBC Radio 4) and another "book on tape." And NO rain. And then, sunshine! It felt like an enormous gift after all the rain and dark of the past week.

More "books on bikes":

• "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl
• "The Sanatorium" by Sarah Pearse

Office cookie swap

Seattle, Washington

Well, the holiday party has not QUITE returned, but at least we get to do a Cookie exchange. No sampling allowed ('til you're out of the building). But still, I am grateful!
