The Broken Girls by Simone St. James
I bought The Broken Girls, by Simone St. James, at The Poet’s Corner bookshop in Duncan’s Mills. It’s a ghost story mystery with a girl’s boarding school, and in the midst of the hurly-burly of holiday prep, it seemed like … Continue reading
Galley Copies!
Thursday evening someone rapped on the door and immediately rang the bell. This is the hallmark of UPS or FedEx these days. I was delighted to hear it because it meant the coffee beans were here, and we were nearly … Continue reading

A Rant
Odd time of year for a rant–odd time in my life for a rant, actually. I really have little to rant about right now. Given the state of the world, things are good for me, and I’m grateful. In spite … Continue reading

Winchester House
The first thing to remember about the Winchester Mansion is that this is a private concession, like a ride at Disneyland, not a museum or a state preserve. The owners have no commitment, contractual or otherwise, to historical accuracy. Those … Continue reading
Tioga Pass
Highway 120 runs through Yosemite National Park in a roughly east-west direction. We had to get park reservations to drive through (it cost $2) and Linda did that on her phone. The turnoff for 120, also called Tioga Pass Road, … Continue reading

Hot Creek
Driving south on US 395 past Lee Vining, turn left on Hot Creek Hatchery Road. You’re going to make a pretty long, and pretty slow, drive east before you come to the overlook and parking lot of the hot springs … Continue reading
Devil’s Postpile Monument
The ski town of Mammoth is southwest of Lee Vining, on Highway 203. A drive about 13 miles north brings you to the Devil’s Postpile National Monument Park. You crest a ridge and drive down the other side, into a … Continue reading
