In July I wrote a few goals as part of Blogging 201. So how did I do? I can take one approach and write 'failed miserably'. Overall not so bad. I just need to adjust some goals to make them realistic. Here's the semi-stream-of-conscious report. Goal 1: Visit more blogs and comment on them. I … Continue reading It’s Accountability Time
Let’s Stop the Music for Now: The Students Are Back!
Last Friday I posted this tweet: https://twitter.com/stacksandranges/status/636885795266162688?lang=en The college felt like a tomb. The summer students had a little break, and we had one as well filled with projects. At some point too much quiet still feels too much. My job description has many things, but priority numero uno revolves around helping students and staff. … Continue reading Let’s Stop the Music for Now: The Students Are Back!
Music Monday: Your Life is Now by John Mellencamp
Over my holidays I learned a classmate from my graduating class passed away in July from cancer. He hung with the head bangers (mullets, jean jackets, and heavy metal crowd) as the quiet one of this bunch. While he looked gaunt, he had the same eyes and face I can still remember. I find myself … Continue reading Music Monday: Your Life is Now by John Mellencamp
Stay-cation Postcard
It's after midnight as my vacation begins to countdown to the finish. I went out, got my passport done, uncluttered some spaces, and stayed up late. Right now I find myself in one of those late-night spells after watching the new Hannibal episode. I have watched my share of scary stuff, but Hannibal took scariness … Continue reading Stay-cation Postcard

Good luck trying to read my writing.
Music Monday: Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins
Echo Beach exists in the mind of the narrator of the song, but Martha and the Muffins are real. It's the song of escape, and yearning to escape, common to anyone with a boring job or not. I love the guitar work and sax playing. It has this old-school vibe despite hitting the top ten … Continue reading Music Monday: Echo Beach by Martha and the Muffins
Music Monday: Vacation by The Go-Gos
It arrived. For the next two weeks I will sleep in, pamper myself, and take my mom to a morning appointment without worrying about arranging my work schedule. My mind already left on the Tuesday after the Civic Holiday/Terry Fox long weekend. I wish to call it planning, but picking the dates meant waiting four … Continue reading Music Monday: Vacation by The Go-Gos
Scattered Drafts and Upcoming Appointments
I have a mental list of things to do over my holidays. I checked the 'Drafts' portion of my blog, and saw some entries to change/add/eventually publish. Stacks and Ranges will hit 400 posts very soon. I never imagined the last hundred, but I did read my early posts, and saw a some growth. Hope does … Continue reading Scattered Drafts and Upcoming Appointments
Soggy Books, New Books, TBRs, and Books in Progress
Last week I posed a picture of my damp copy of Health at Every Size. How bad did it look after drying off? I went online to order a replacement copy, and a couple of more items. One particular book titled Cinnamon and Gunpowder shapes up as my next read. It tells the story of a … Continue reading Soggy Books, New Books, TBRs, and Books in Progress
Music Monday: Holiday by Madonna
I felt nostalgic, and I had one post for Music Monday needing some work. It's the Civic Holiday long weekend, or Terry Fox day depending on who's mentioning the news story. I had three lovely days off, and it's four more days until I go on my holidays. Let's celebrate! https://youtu.be/VMkwWamTRD8
