Almost the end of February and I’m finally getting around to posting my monthly round-up for January. What can I say? It’s been a busy year so far, and it doesn’t show any signs of letting up. (I mean, a genuine madman in the Oval Office isn’t helping matters anyway.)<\/p>\n

But what are you complaining about? You’re just the imaginary blog reader I made up in my head! <\/p>\n

Really, though, I have begun to suspect that nobody else is reading these posts, even the few who occasionally did so in the past. But hey, whatever. They help me keep track of things, which is maybe all that matters.<\/p>\n

And it’s not like there’s a lot more to report. I spent the last couple of days of January (and the first couple of February) down on Sanibel Island in Florida — which is where the photo above comes from — but otherwise it was a pretty uneventful month. I mean, for the day to day, my Twitter feed<\/a> is the better place to go.<\/p>\n

Here’s just where I keep track of the stories<\/a>, books<\/a>, movies<\/a>, and music<\/a> I encountered in the month. So let’s get on with that, shall we, gentle (and likely nonexistent) reader?<\/p>\n

I read a few I really liked. 2017 originals:<\/p>\n
