It’s all connected…first, I set a “43 things” goal of reading the books I have on the shelf before I buy more, then I set a goal of learning the major constellations, then I found a course on B&N University about Backyard Astronomy, then, as I browsed through the other courses out of curiosity, I found a book discussion group on The Country of the Pointed Firs…which just happens to be one of the books on my shelf that I am supposed to read before I buy any more (which isn’t working by the way, I just bought two new books this weekend but that is another story) and which happens to be set in Maine which happens to be my favorite place in the whole wide world. You know that whole 6 degrees of separation thing? I think it works for more than people!
