I ordered olive oil from Target earlier this week. I figured that they wouldn’t offer to ship it if they couldn’t handle it. I was wrong, and I did not enjoy getting an oil-soaked package full of broken glass delivered to my house. Target refunded my money immediately, though, so points to them for customer service.
I finally finished Karen Russell’s Swamplandia!. The exclamation point belongs to the book title, not to the statement, but I am glad to be done reading it. I liked elements of the story, but overall the book made me feel sad.
I played my hammered dulcimer this week. I don’t do that often, so it’s noteworthy. I’m not very good at it and probably never will be. That’s OK, though. We can’t all be hammered dulcimer virtuosi.
