This week is Spring Break for many college students and professors, including Mark and Jean. Mark and Andy went to Myrtle Beach for the week with several friends, and seem to be having a good time. Yes, I am jealous being the only member of the family working! ☹

Currently Listening: Willie Nile’s collection of his 3 cds which were released from 1980 through 1991. He is a fabulous talent who has never achieved the success he deserves. Of course, a lot of outstanding artists are in the same situation, since popular success overlaps musical talent but is in no way directly related to it.

Currently Reading: I hope to start reading a new book tonight, probably the first Temeraire novel by Naomi Novik. Who can resist a historical adventure set during the Napoleanic Wars in which the British Air Force consists of a fleet of... dragons! This is a highly-acclaimed series which might be precisely the type of light reading I need after a busy day at school.
