fighting the lack of good ideas
From the reading-more department, I’m going to attempt to put one review of a book out every week, with a target day of Wednesday. Might end up putting a couple out on some books because they take a longer time to read, but that’s the goal. Today started with a quickie overview of Aesop’s Fables…
I find that the more time I tend to have, the less I want to read… but when I’m really busy, I’ll find all kinds of books that look interesting. With my current work arrangement, I travel frequently, and have been taking the time on the flights (if not sleeping) to read through histories, novels,…

Saturday I went to the museum, as planned. It was pretty interesting, but I would not suggest it either for small kids (probably under 10 or 12, unless they’re really really interested in the history of Singapore) or as place to go if you want to talk about what you’re looking at with the folks…
