CHANGES in Postcards 4

I read and worked a bit on essay number 3. My goal is to high light the difference between the far more formal prewar forms, and the relaxed post war styles. My problem was, and probably still is, that my interest kept getting distracted to another post or site. I got little writing done but lots of reading accomplished. If I had a better brain, I might remember some of the stuff I read.

I read even more after George came home from the museum. I am not rich enough to help my favorite independent bookstore very much. George was kind enough to say I could buy three volumes at “Mysterious Galaxy,” a truly wonderful place, and he picked them up on his way home after work.

Next Tuesday we may be shut down again. California has color levels of disease during this pandemic. We are in the red now, but it looks like we will be moving into the far more restrictive purple level. Our library is open only for pickup. No browsing the stacks. As soon as I am done with my new books, I will go back to reading my own books. We are plugged in to delivered dinners and food delivery from Ralphs or Vons, so we are covered there. We have Netflix. We have our computers and the internet.

We always have the British Baking Show where we are still in episode 3.
