This week I have to finish ... Braiding Sweetgrass by Kimmerer for book club meetings.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Braiding Sweetgrass. I've heard people say it's good, but I'm not sure I'd like it.

I realized that later. So, guess they're not related.

Or ... maybe Elizabeth kept the old family spelling and Stephen wanted to update it. Or something.

Probably not, though.

Have you heard/seen Jon Stewart explain why he changed his name from the original Leibowitz? "Too Hollywood."

A neighbor who I didn't recognize dropped the July 21 issue on my doorstep this morning and rang the ring camera doorbell. I had been putting off reading it on the screen so I have fresh reading material! The timing is off though. This week I have to finish The Sign of Four by Doyle and Braiding Sweetgrass by Kimmerer for book club meetings.
