Daily Thoughts 02/08/2019

I finished reading Notoriously Dapper How to be a Modern Gentleman with Manners, Style and Body Confidence by Kelvin Davis.  This is a mix of biography, fashion, and self help.  I enjoyed reading it.  Kelvin Davis is a father, artist, middle school teacher, coach, and fashion person.  It has a positive upbeat feeling to the book.

I also started reading Personal Finance After 50 for dummies by Eric Tyson, MBA.  This is an introduction to finance later in life.

We have the information for the Creativebug page for the website now.  It should be up soon.

I checked the displays and the gift books this morning.

We are having a class ebooks, streaming media, and other downloads at 11:00 a.m..  The class went well.  We discussed Kanopy, Hoopla, and Overdrive.

I spent some time on the public computer desk and in the computer lab today.

I also spent some time checking the 600s.

I checked out the book, Draw Your Day An Inspiring Guide to Keeping A Sketch Journal by Samantha Dion Baker
