I just got a phone call asking if I was “the reference library.” And, sometimes it does feel that way.

Maybe I should’ve humored them, just to take on the challenge. (Of course, there’s no way I could out-research a professional reference librarian. Fun idea though.)

My kid in a small group Hangout with classmates: “Guess what number I’m going to say. It starts with a one, then a zero and another zero.”

A minute later: “Ok, the next one will be harder. It’s a one, a zero and a one.”

The grocery store had a couple horn players outside playing carols and it just about broke me. First live Christmas music I’ve heard this year, first live music of any kind in a very long time. I miss it so much.

I was waiting for a decent excuse to crack open the Special No. 4 I picked up this year, and getting together (virtually) with my singing group for the first time in months seemed like a good one.
