I am starting a new project, and I am super excited about it! So excited, in fact, that I’m writing all about it in my blog before I’ve even gone anywhere with it. :) There’s an organization in Anchorage that serves as a free veterinarian for wild birds. Part of…
I know that Rule 1 of Book Club is “You do not talk about Book Club.” So I mostly won’t. But I like the idea of experimenting with a little bit of readers’ advisory on this blog, since I don’t get to do a lot of that at at my…
