I’m so proud of my fellow writers at TSL and how they’ve kept the site alive and vibrant while Jeff and I have been on vacation.  Here’s some of what was posted last week!  Check it out if you haven’t yet!

  1. Arleigh reviewed By Dawn’s Early Light!
  2. Case reviewed Bruce Campbell’s autobiography!

Finally, here are some off-site links from last week:

  5. Summer Stolstice, the 1st day of Summer, and Midsummer

As for me, I’m writing this from our room at the Phoenix Hilton Airport Hotel.  It’s currently 3:36 here, which means that it’s 5:36 in Texas.  Time zones have always been strange to me.  In about seven hours time, Jeff and I will be boarding a plane for Kauai where we will be spending the second week of our vacation.  It’s a bit strange to think that we will actually be going backwards in time.

Anyway, have a good week and stay safe!
