Back to the books! This part of the site is devoted to my grandfather’s books<\/a>. I never got to know the man, he died a few months after I was born, but over the years, I’ve been given a few of his things. Including a lot of books. <\/p>\n

If you click the link above you’ll see the books already uploaded to the site. Right now we’re checking out a few publications he had when he was a bit older, because almost 60-year-old advertisements are always fun. And so here we have the November 1960 Reader’s Digest: <\/p>\n

Click the cover and you’ll get today’s installment, which gives us pages five through eight in our quick flip through this book as I attempt to once again make this a weekly feature. Also, check out the main section<\/a> and you can see a classic literature book, some great science illustrations, some notes, newspaper clippings from his youth and more. <\/p>\n

Slow day around these parts. Spring break for students, most of the faculty and staff have ducked out of town too. So it is quiet and sunny everywhere, and there’s nothing wrong with that. <\/p>\n

Let’s celebrate with song! I heard Lake Street Dive at lunch today and that meant I stayed in the restaurant for three more minutes to enjoy the tune. Now you can enjoy it too: <\/p>\n
