So, I decided to take the afternoon off. Summer session at the college where I work just ended, and it wasn’t likely that there would be any reference questions — my presence was essentially rendered unnecessary, or so I convinced myself. When I got home, the latest issue of Magnet greeted me. With the house to myself, and the central air cranked (it’s like 100 degrees out there), I put on some old Swirlies albums and did some reading…

Today was a good day.
