I’m having a hard time focusing on reading. It’s not that things are bad. Things are stressful in a way that uses up a lot of my mental and emotional energy. I’m working on a couple of books I received as gifts over the holidays (one from my uncle and fellow Cannonballer, degregorious), but the focus isn’t there.

Figure Skaters Finding Love (literally all I needed to know to sell me on it, how about the rest of you?)

So when I told Mr. Beth Ellen what I was listening to his response was, “he’s too young to write a memoir”. And […]

Kate is the daughter of a disinherited earl’s son for marrying an actress. He now works as a barrister and is quite happy in his life, even though it’s not what it was expected to be. Nick […]
