Homework: Kids school- and homeworkbook scripted and timetable
Home Work
I noticed on the way to work that some kid from the neighborhood elementary school had lost his homework. And it's still here on the home commute, and I feel doubly bad, because this kid was on point. https://t.co/utPj4jdkZ6

The Hotel Neversink
Adam O'Fallon Price
Stole some extra lunchtime for THE HOTEL NEVERSINK by @AdamOPrice. Creepy and quirky and compelling...like a horror movie directed by Wes Anderson instead of Wes Craven. Another solid recommendation from @lindsaydevon and @higley_alex! https://t.co/GT2fD5Y4ee

The American Revolution: 1745 - 1784
Benjamin Franklin
I'm reading a book about the American Revolution, and it's talking about how Benjamin Franklin achieved fame and fortune and was able to basically retire in his forties because he was a publisher. Man, some things never change, huh?
