Now I know the summer is well & truly over: The Gauthier household is besieged by its first illness since Aidan was born. Vincent is the only one not suffering at the moment, but he woke with a sore throat, so I expect he’s getting it, too. Aidan is thoroughly miserable, barely sleeping, making it super-difficult to post. Or do anything at all — I still hope to have a draft up by Sunday, however.
Until I have the time & mental resources to offer more, I leave you with a few items of interest:
- From the Boston Globe, “Welcome to the Library. Say goodbye to the books.” Take special note of what will replace the reference desk. Brave new world, indeed.
- In today’s New York Times, Michiko Kakutani reviews Ted Kennedy’s True Compass (breaking an embargo, I might add — the book’s not officially released yet).
- And for my fellow Plathians, Volume 2 of Plath Profiles is now up, and includes a review of The Plath Cabinet.
Bleah. Nothing like a fall cold.
I hope your household returns to health soon.
thank you for the items of interest. I too have a summer cold — my first cold this year, and it is no fun snuffling around. Worse, I’ve given it to one of my children, so I have to nurse us both. Getbetter soon!
What a weekend–colds all around here, except me, gotta keep runnin’
Oy! Thanks for the good thoughts, JC. Lily & Victoria, I hope you & yours are feeling better!
Hope everyone’s better soon!
Just added you to my blog roll. A pleasure to read your blog!
Oh, thank you, Jeannine! I’ve done the same. I don’t remember if I’ve ever commented, but I’ve been reading your blog for a while.
(Don’t these early season colds just love to linger…)
