Monday, May 4th

"There are no paragons of virtue in my books," Margaret Atwood said.  "Because there are no paragons of virtue, including ourselves, in life.  Yes, there is cruelty in my books because there is cruelty in life."

I ended Sunday with a documentary on the life and work of Margaret Atwood, HULU.  I started today by ordering Kindle samples of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments. The latter was a follow up to the Handmaid's Tale and inspired by the election of Donald Trump.

Day sent me some new earplugs as an inspiration to walk--which I'll also begin today.

But first--after being up and getting a lot accomplished since four a.m., I'm going to curl up in bed and read Atwood and probably take a little nap.
