    Interesting strategy . . . I’ve really never scheduled my naps in advance. They usually just kind of happen. Mostly when I want to read or watch a movie.

    Congrats! I hope you like your new job. It’s difficult adjusting to time away from home when you’ve been out of the workforce for a while, but it does get easier. I’m sure the cats will behave quite well in you absence. (Snicker.)

    Though nothing will ever take the place of reading a physical book, open your mind (and ears) to all the wonderful books on audio out there. I’m a librarian, and my opinion has always been – books in any form – THEY’RE ALL GOOD! And, as long as you’re listening to an unabridged audiobook – why shouldn’t it “count”? My husband and I commute together, and we’re listening to the Orphan X series by Greg Hurwitz. We cringe, gasp, and laugh together at Evan Smoak’s exploits. There’s something very special about this shared experience. It would not be the same if we had to take turns reading the book.

    Plus, people give you stuff like trips, and swell campers, and you all gotta do is look after THEIR interests when it comes time to render verdicts. AND, best of all – there are absolutely NO CONSEQUENCES for your bad behavior. Sweet deal, if you can get it.

    “Do you need a snack … ?” I love it!

    Diet Stripe? Diet Strips? Neither one sounds very appetizing . . .

    I met my husband thirty-five years ago when we both worked for B. Dalton Bookseller, so I certainly don’t regret that job. ;)

    I have one. I spent ten years in retail, and now I work in a library. No regrets.

    The Spruce Goose pops into my mind whenever I see one.

    I can think of about a hundred great books that would make fantastic movies, but all Hollywood wants to do is remakes and sequels.
