šŸ’øšŸ“ššŸ’» Libraries reckon with high e-book costs (axios.com) It costs the library $75 to get a single digital license of Harlan Cobenā€™s latest novel, ā€œThink Twice.ā€ The e-book can be checked out by one patron at a time and the license expires after two years. A physical copy costs just $16 and can remain permanently in the collection. Big publishers are price-fixing consumer-gouging monoliths who should be brought to their knees in class action lawsuits.

A colleague just Teamsā€™d me: So you just came up in a ā€œCoffee Chatā€ as part of the HR Insights program. It was an informal session and training needs came up. I talked about our time on the TDC and Ray J. threw you out there as a ā€œwealth of knowledgeā€ who is incredibly helpful and able to bring a different flavor of training. As someone who also strives to do that, I thought I should pass it along.

A LONG SURRENDER

The King Knows How by Over the Rhine from The Long Surrender Surrender and surrendering have been fairly consistent themes since I started seeing a new therapist a couple years ago. I had decided to stop seeing my first therapist who was very helpful at times, but our time together ran its course.

A Man is Not His Song from Pleasure by Feist So, I had a bit of a spring affair. Well, a winter-through-summer affair. It was cold when we met and hot outside the last time we saw each other.
