Good afternoon, I am excited to be sending out my first blog posting. It’s a long time coming because I kept blogging on my to-do list since I watched Julie and Julia a few years back. I am unfortunately not a great cook like Amy Adams’ Julia in that movie, but I had dreams (in no particular order) about blogging, food, and Julia Child.
Running: I am about 3.5 weeks away from running the Miami Half Marathon. I signed up for this race way too long ago, and could not help myself, because my wife had such a great time running the full. At this point I am sticking to the safest plan I could possibly think of in preparation of this event: don’t get hurt, help your wife run fast, and think about how much fun it will be to eat at Versailles a few days before the event.
Librarian: I get too much joy out of making sure customers get something placed in their virtual hands. Today I gave a how-to about Overdrive and Free-ebooks.net to a “reluctant with technology, but I got a Kindle for Christmas so I must learn” customer. I received a Happy New Year! from him: that’s more than enough for a :). For any librarian that does less direct customer service and more administrative duties, relationship building, and report writing, an eBook question is a nice change of pace.
I will see you in a week. Happy “Less Than One Day To Go” New Years!
