I don’t know about you, but I’ve been using this down time to plan some travels. One of the top destinations on my list for next spring is a return to Iceland. I’ve been many time over the years, but always yearn to return.

I recently re-read this marvelously creepy and fun book by the great Shirley Jackson. If you haven’y read it, give it a go; you won’t be disappointed.

I imagine that George Lucas is having a grand time in isolation. I would be if I had his library to while away the days in.

It has been especially heartbreaking to hear what’s happening in New York City this week. I come from three generations of New Yorkers on both side of my family and still have relatives in the city.

Life without books is death indeed.
