How are things on your end? Things are going well here. I started telecommuting a week ago and we went under a “Stay at Home Order” yesterday at 5 pm. Not gonna lie, this is incredibly easy for me.

Close the Libraries
I’ve long been an advocate of access, but I’ve also advocated for protecting library faculty and staff. I’ve worked in libraries where the entire campus shut down BUT the library was required to stay open. One university president even “offered” to have security pick up library staff from their homes during snow storms and “allow” them to sleep/shower in the dorms if necessary. This does not tell library staff that they’re valuable. It tells them that they’re expendable. This situation is so very different from snow storms. This is about protecting the health of entire communities. Librarians generally work in spaces where social distancing isn’t practical. And, while I empathize…

Where Bloggers Live: Louisiana

Gosh, I cannot believe it has been that long… We requested the transfer with his job because we wanted to be closer to our grandkids and, with retirement looming on the horizon, we wanted to be some place warm. Truth be told, though, I really never thought this would be our forever home.When we separated from the Army and moved to Pennsylvania, I thought that was it. That we’d never make it back down here again. Funny how we ended up coming nearly full circle. I think I’ve mentioned before that I grew up in Italy, so I didn’t know…

10 on the 10th: 03|10|2020
Today is my 47th birthday! I usually share my birth story on the blog, but since I’m doing the 10 on 10 post, I’ll just link to it here. And, in case you’re all, hmmm, I don’t think so, Daenel… Let me tell you, it involves a police car, a clandestine affair, and ABOUT 10 on the 10th 10 on the 10th is hosted by Leslie at Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After. Leslie took over hosting duties for 2020 and, in true Leslie fashion, she decided to tweak things a bit… Every other prompt will be 10 questions about a particular season or theme. Leslie will share…

The funny thing is, I’m not even sure what I mean by different. Wiser. More focused. A bit together. I’m none of…
