As someone who has worked with products which aren't exactly mainstream, I appreciate businesses who find their niche. "Bibles, Cookbooks and Kid's books" are the top three categories for Ms. McKay's work at The Book Doctor in Dallas. They repair spines, covers, and a host of other types of damage, including "dog damage." The work in the gallery photos is really quite amazing. If your books are feeling spineless, it may be work a look.

The Odd Sunday
It's been a running, weeding, and cleaning (and forgetting to write) type of weekend. The weather has been amazing.
Hope you've had a most wonderful day.

Striking Goal-d
I'm a goal setter.
I have life goals, career goals, financial goals, annual goals, vacation goals, fitness goals and each night I set my daily goals for the following day. (These are sometimes adjusted after a night's rest and a strong coffee.)
On today's goal list: Salon 615. I may have kept my schedule available during this morning slot in an effort to secure tickets to see Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild which I keenly enjoyed. We'll see how it goes.
Hope you have a goal-den Thurday!

To the Letter
I have studied Willa Cather in at least two English courses. Until this (insomnia ridden) morning, I didn't realize she was from Nebraska. This article in The New York Times by Jennifer Schuessler was a fascinating reveal in that 566 of Cather's letters will be published in an anthology later this month. (Side note: Cather didn't want her personal correspondence published.)
I love letters and I enjoy reading old correspondence, especially that found in a random book at a remote used bookstore, however I an not quite certain how I feel about this release. Several of you know I have been following this recent news item about the publication of the HeLa genome without the family's prior consent.
This morning's 3:30 ethical ponder: at what point does the greater public understanding trump the personal decision?
Author's note: Please don't publish any personal correspondence which contains really bad puns.
