Today turned out to be a Big Day Out. Young Indiana woke up thoroughly at 6:30, and I had no stamina to do anything but take him for a 3 mile walk.

God, we have a lot of stuff. Even though I didn’t do the bulk of the moving (or even a fraction of it), all these damned books have made me think: Kindle. Or Nook, or Sony E-Reader, or iPad, but digital, anyway. I’ve been wanting to go digital with the music and movies,…
