Resolution Dissolution, Revisited 2018
Goodbye, 2018. You were not nice. But, thanks for all of the positives. There were many.
However, the abundance of unbelievable and inane activity really pissed me off.
Eagerly awaiting midnight, 12-31-2018.
Y'all know I hate and do not read the glut of Best Of, Worst Of, Top Ten, and other such opinion lists that appear at any year's end. I don't try to make my own either, though I do have favorite Read more of this blog post »

After finishing Barbara Kingsolver's "Pridogal Summer" I read many of the fine reviews of it here at Goodreads. I agree with the general assessment. Most of the reviewers are big Kingsolver fans, as I am. Most agree it is not her best work as far as reading entertainment goes. There is more about moths and goats than I need to know. The three stories that make up the novel are fine in themselves and their connection is well crafted. The writing is poetic, thoughtful, intelligent, and insightful, which is my main draw to Kingsolver. Statements like these are what I treasure in her writing: "A bird never doubts its place at the center of the universe." "Every quiet step is thunder to beetle life underfoot." I enjoyed this book very much. It was a bit tedious at times (moths, goats, chestnuts, coyotes,weeds) but I can put up with that for the gems of language that I find along the way.
