South on Southwest

The librarian is being forced to fly to Durham on Southwest today and he’s not happy. Turns out that Lexapro does nothing to alleviate the misery of flying Greyhound. The librarian thinks he should up his dosage or mix with Jack Daniels. That way he can spread the discomfort around: if you think the librarian [...]

Crankiness Ensues

The Librarian travels a lot. Consequently, he’s learned to hate his fellow travelers. He would like to be a bigger person than this (in spirit, not physically) and say, like the Xtians, that he hates the behavior, not the person, but the Librarian possesses no such spiritual generosity; he cannot separate the act of blocking [...]

Two classes and a wedding

My partner, Steven, yelled out from his study the other night: “You need an editor.” This seemed apropos of nothing, until I thought, “He must be reading something I’ve written.” It could only be this blog. He was referring to something that I’d written some time ago, of course, since he hasn’t read it in [...]

And it prints to [...]

I was still in Monroe, LA when they arrived. When I got home from the airport at 5 [...]

Here in LA

Today I’m in Monroe, LA, attending a class at the Louisiana Library Association meeting. You will become even more jealous when I tell you that, here in the Holiday Inn—the best hotel in Monroe, LA—, where the conference is taking place, there is a free cocktail hour where you can get two cocktails for free.
