Why, I wonder, should the popularity of a news story matter to me? Does it mean it's a good story or just a seductive one?

This is a good news story.

I wonder what book signings will be like when most of the books we read are electronic. Will authors sign something else? A flyer, perhaps? A special kind of card devised for the purpose?

When I wonder what the future of books will be, I often think about horses. Before automobiles existed, everyone had a horse. Then cars became available, and their convenience, compared to horses, was undeniable.

A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky, unbidden, and seems like a thing of wonder.

I'm a storyteller, not a prophet. I'm just interested in a good story.
