I started my book blog, Collected Miscellany, twenty years ago. Now I don’t know what to do with it. Any ideas?
Pet peeve of mine: every time I buy something getting an email survey 😞
My run club had our Halloween run last night people had trouble guessing my costume but it was easy to run 🏃in 😄
Gorgeous sunrise this morning

Thanks for the sticker @jean
Ran my first official half marathon on Sunday. Had a great experience and was pleased with my time. 🏃 13.1
Currently reading: Effective Data Storytelling by Brent Dykes 📚
Finished reading: The Road by Cormac McCarthy 📚 // A hard book to rate and review. The language was spare and at times beautiful. It was full of powerful emotions and thoughts of how all easy answers breakdown at the extremes. But I was also left wondering what it was all about exactly? Just the above? Perhaps my literary sensibility is not deep enough to appreciate a book where all is bleak and the world is ending and yet I was hoping for a little more direction, a little more purpose to the story.
