Harper's March, Edward Penfield, 1896

Daily Thoughts 03/20/2019

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie last night.  There is an addendum with a cast of characters both humans and gods in the back of the book.  My favorite character so far is the god, The Strength and Patience of the Hill.

I also read some more of Saving Community Journalism.  There is a reminder that your customer for a newspaper is the reader of the news.

I spent some time preparing for programming today.
