Luxuriating with my morning coffee and oatmeal on this beautiful day. The sun is shining and the birds are singing.

Went to a fabulous screening last night on a film 12 years in the making, Free for All: The Public Library. It was so well done and timely. The nationwide release is scheduled for April 29 at 9pm on PBS nationwide. Don’t miss it. It is about our collective history.
