We also serve who stand and wait

It is near freezing and wet outside this morning so I'm hanging out in my office reading and waiting for the packing people to arrive:



Anticipating the arrival of "Julia" by Sandra Newman I'm rereading "1984".  It has a very different flavor that when I first read it in the 70's.  The world and I have both changed dramatically.  Among many other things I do not remember the book being particularly misogynistic but I suspect I was just tone deaf.  There are so many other layers in the book now both topical and historical so it is a mind churning read.

Meanwhile, I'm on watch.

My plan is to leave the nest cam looking into the kitchen up until I unplug the modem.

That works. Tell Julio I hope he gets that damn feather.

I reread 1984 a couple of years back and although it was still great I was really looking at it with new eyes.

Have you read Wifedom? That makes you look at him in a different way too
