Humans of New York

Love this personal spotlight from Humans of New York (9/16/15): 

“I’m a rare book librarian. I get to touch books every single day. My colleague and I have a joke that we are Defenders of Wonder. A physical book assigns a sense of reverence to the content inside. It’s the same feeling you get when you look at a painting or hear a piece of music. And I think that’s something worth defending. And just like a book gives reverence to its content, I think the library gives reverence to books. The building itself is a masterpiece. So many famous thinkers have come here to study and write. Just being here connects you to that lineage.”

Finally reading this one. 
If you are on Facebook, I highly recommend following the Humans of New York page. The stories are fascinating, heart-wrenching, uplifting.

Hole-y Smokes!

So, this happened at the Ranger's first game of the season. There was a big, fat hole in the field. No one was even near Callie when she stepped into it and went down. Huge bummer. She got it x-rayed - no fracture, but she is supposed to stay off of it for a "few days." She is already completely annoyed by the crutches and restrictions.
