📚Finished the audiobook of The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas. Loved the narration by Bill Homewood. It was a bit commitment since the book runs about 55 hours. I was expecting a bit of a swashbuckler, but instead found a morality tale of the dangers of omnipotence without omniscience.
My nephew has made it home from Denmark where he was studying.
I admit that I’ve been getting most of my books from Amazon or from our library as ebooks. They are convenient for reading in bed or while traveling, but those are the only advantages. There is nothing to mark up and, worse, there is nothing to share. I had a short list of books I wanted to buy that friends had recommended and decided to stick with paper this time. I could get that from Amazon as well, but there are still a few independent bookstores left in the area, including one in Rochester.
More ink! I’m probably set for this life and many after.
I’ve been journaling regularly now for over a year and sporadically before that: pen, paper, and text only. I don’t understand journaling like this.
I received three new inks today. Can’t wait to try them out.

Today is Sunday, a day of rest. I thought I’d post this peaceful sunset over Lake Superior from last September. #mbfeb
Life today is out of balance. Unwell. Hope to be up to snuff tomorrow. #mbfeb

Lake Superior beach. Plain. Simple. #mbfeb
I found this sign in Dublin this fall when visiting. It was in Merrion Square near the statue of Oscar Wilde. Mathematicians are my heroes. #mbfeb
The lull before the Sunday snowblower symphony. #mbfeb
Sunlit is crashing on my phone on startup. Just started today. Anyone else seeing this?
