My blogging has gone way down in frequency and probably in quality. The second reason I haven’t been blogging much: I’ve been mildly depressed.

So, why not lend it to your local library? As the owner, you can reclaim it at any time, although maybe your library would prefer you lend it for a known term so that they can count on reducing the number of copies of a bestseller they have to buy.
