1. What is your least favorite part of Spring?
Precipitation. Last week I got caught in a downpour with graupel sans umbrella (because I'm optimistic and foolish like that). What's that? You hadn't heard of graupel? Me, neither. Wasn't aware such a thing existed until it was dumped out of the sky on my head. *sigh*
2. What is your most favorite part of Spring?
Longer days! It's such a relief to have a bit more sun in the evenings.
3. What is the latest good book you've read?
Hm. I'm just starting this: Capital City: Gentrification and the Real Estate State. Hopes are high. I'll let you know how it goes.
4. What are your plans for this weekend?
The second half of the grading I was complaining about last week.
5. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
Only qualitative analysis 'round these parts, thank you!
What's a good book you've read recently, flist?

Date: 2019-03-26 04:22 pm (UTC)I am reading Upstairs at the White House: My Life with the First Ladies. It's a memoir from the Chief Usher [kind of a majordomo but with ALL the responsibilites] of the White House. He served under Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and I think a bit of Nixon, not sure yet. It's fascinating stuff, all behind-the-scenes to make the place run smoothly. It's a very accessible and fun read.
