Views of the New Building

Tonight will be views of our new building, without much commentary.

Today was my first visit to the new building where I was able to go inside. I cannot share pictures of the inside, but can show some of the outside.

Today was a cloudy day and it was interesting to see the reflections in the glass facade of the building.

This area is along the sidewalk up to the entrance and is preserved wetlands. We will have a scenic walk up to the entrance of the building.

I am looking forward to working in the new building later this year.

Covid-19 Cover Story Update

Since Middlemarch is almost here again I thought I would make a few updates to my Covid-19 Cover Story.


Since I have been sheltering in place at home among my books. I decided to tell a story using book covers.

I had a few rules for this story.

First, the cover must come from my Penguin Popular Classics collection.

Second, the title can be a little bit of a stretch, but not too much.

Third, it must be a book that I have read.

So here is my Covid-19 Cover Story.
