Post-holiday blues. Cabin fever. And the return of routine.
And the Oscar goes to……
We weeded out unwanted inventory and unfriended people.
Clearing the deck and crank up the engine.
Sports Illustrated illustrates tan and skin underneath winter jacket.
While Readers Digest finally suffers inDigestion.
Books of the Times and books of the Post.
New faces and new titles ( from “How to get filthy rich in Asia” to “A Good Son”).
I was at the opening of a branch library yesterday.
I had never seen anything like it: families lined up and singed up for library cards, as if it were Black-Friday Sales.
Since when people are that much interested in books.
It must be because of pent-up demand in this area.
Tom Clancy still pairs up with other writers to crank out humongous volumes on the genre.
While Grisham sticks with litigation.
Writers cranked up and not cramped up.
Everyone hangs in there, at least those who can still be productive and sell.
Venues might have changed i.e. Newsweek and Readers Digest out! but demand are there (Amazon’s Kindle and B&N’s nook).
I have picked up on Facebook chat (over the top platform) and found it more convenient than the old purple Yahoo messenger.
Change has come to me.
The future is now. The library has opened, but with more desktops and less bookshelves.
More best-sellers and less of the old inventory.
Of course, with no Clearance Sales, at least, not yet.
And the Oscar goes to….some winners for sure.
I read an article about the Oscar set. It should look very magnificent on TV, with a promise to ” turn Stars into star-gazers”.
Winners or losers, Oscar or Daytona, we hang in there and move forward.
Time flows just one way. And it waits for no one. With no action, even angels leave us.
Wait not for the snow to melt. Put on those boots and march on. Get cranked up and hang not in there for too long.
