|
| elloyd74 Just placed 5 ILLs for a dripping-with-sweat man in leather chaps--and not in a *good* sweaty-in-leather chaps way. Ergh. |
|
| elloyd74 Ooh. Just saw that former librarian & excellent writer Elizabeth McCracken has a memoir coming out in Sept: http://is.gd/UVd |
|

|
| elloyd74 Feeling maudlin at the ref desk: an 83-yr-old woman just requested *Take Back Your Marriage*. |
|

|
| elloyd74 Apparently our 7-yr-old patrons have started wearing cologne. |
|
| elloyd74 "Give a man a fish"...done 4 times in the first 1/2 hour of the library day. "Teach him how to fish"...not so much. Wish this was different. |

|

|
| elloyd74 Feeling demoralized. Perhaps shd NOT've watched footage from Hennepin Co. Commissioners' Meeting re: merger costing 3.5mil more than pland. |

| elloyd74 This CNN headline feels at least 40 years old to me: "Study: Gays in military don't hurt ability to fight" Article here: http://is.gd/Oj7 |
|
