Weekend

Coffee, Wine …

We tried a new coffee shop in Saline, Michigan, down the road from Ann Arbor.
It’s Ok, not great.

The coffee cups are upbeat.

Reading

New mystery author. Not terrible, but too long and not really well plotted.
I forced myself to finish this book (showing that the suspense wasn’t so great).
I think I’ll skip all the sequels to this, the first in a series

Free book from amazon.com
I hated it. Not remotely up to this author’s other books.
It’s smarmy and preachy.

Probably my next book.

History Article in the Guardian

Putting the new mayor and his political party in historic context is interesting.
It’s more interesting to me because one of the currently-living people mentioned is someone I knew.
