Day 112: Heard on TV

Posted on 07/03/2020 by chick

Heard on TV last night: “A mask is not a big ask.” The rhyme is good, though it doesn’t roll off the tongue as well as you’d think it would. I definitely like it better than “Mask it or casket” … Continue reading →

Day 104: “Time at the Top”

Posted on 06/25/2020 by chick

I recently finished reading Time at the Top by Edward Ormondroyd. This semi-classic children’s book is about a girl whose 1960s apartment building elevator magically transports her through time to the 1880s. The story has a clunky structure that initially … Continue reading →
