Masquerade in Lodi – Lois McMaster Bujold
This was a nice interlude – we go back in time to when Pen had recently been forced to leave Martinsbridge. He’s at his first assignment after his disastrous try at the healing arts, and is currently serving as a court sorcerer. It’s in this capacity that he’s called to the local healing center, for

Garden Notes
For the second year in a row, the Grammie begonia is blooming. It only bloomed once in the seventeen years we lived at the apartment. I guess it really likes this window. One of the bad things about working from home is I’ve gotten really bad about turning on my personal computer, so I’ve fallen
