I’m still on D-C. (De-Cluttering) and will be for a long time. I mentioned the other day a Blog folder . I spent a few hours with more to come if I follow up. I decided I will list the contents, after I trimmed them, and then they are yours to deal with as you will. Here goes:

the art of condolence—how to write a sympathy letter
be careful with your blog—don’t share as much as I do
how to write a “Lives” easy for the NYT—don’t tell all
information about the 2004 publication (second edition) , of The Canadian Oxford Dictionary with an added 5000 new words and word senses—I bought it.
Katherine Barber, (1929-2021) editor=in-chief of the first Canadian Oxford Dictionary, had a delightful sense of humour and loved words.
a 2013 review of a nw book by Rebecca Solnit (The Faraway Nearby) —she’s still on my list to read. (Nice phrase: “the porousness of our every waking moment”—the reviewer’s, not hers)
Vanishing Point, Not a Memoir, ”Memoir is dead. Long live the anti-memoir, built from scraps.”)
review of an essay in the TLS by James Collins about how reading changes you, even books you think you can’t remember. (A wraith of memory.)
a review of a collection of short stories by Sara Maitland, On Becoming a Fairy Godmother. Example: Why I Became a Plumber ‘. (“I decided that that winter I would go on a car maintenance course and then I would not be afraid of anybody.”)— It sounds witty but I’ve read other send-ups.
Old English, an essay (Letter of Recommendation) in the NYT, 1/6/19, by Josephine Livingstone. I love Old English. Perhaps it’s an acquired taste.
definition of a blog by the writer of her blog, “Brain Pickings” : “ It is a “blog” in the proper sense—a ‘weblog’, part commonplace book and part ledger of a life.”
There! Enjoy.
I just emptied a file folder.
