Allegorical Portrait of Dante, Agnolo Bronzino, 1530


Daily Thoughts 07/05/2016

I took a day off blogging on July 4, 2016.

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read a little bit more of Mastermind.  I am reading about how our senses interact with memory.  Each chapter references some different stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.

I read a little more of Hear My Sad Story as well. I learned that there is a Jamaican version of the story of John Henry and the railroad.
