Weekly Recap For March 12-17 2018

Another busy week as grades are due at the day job.

I only managed one review (and that one I only finished a few minutes ago).

Comic Reviews on Comic A Day

The Widow Reminisces Over a Plate of Vegetables by Alexander Danner and Stephanie Smith. (8.5/10).

Photos

One thing I did do this week was that I got back to posting photo sets on Flickr. I am essentially one year behind on Flickr, and I've started the dash to catch up. This week I posted three sets, two recent ones, and one from last January.

Supporting

This week I am supporting the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation. This is a disease that has impacted my family, and Fisher Center is the top-rated charity for Alzheimer's research as rated on Charity Navigator.

Upcoming
Our Spring break trip (tentatively by train to Wuxi and Suzhou) is still in the planning stages. Well, in the procrastinating stages, really, but we should be nailing down some details in the next few days. Meanwhile we are planning Kiddo's birthday party, and I have a school trip to see Black Panther coming up on Friday. Also, a day of Saturday school  next weekend to make up a snow day.

Looking further ahead, we should know the dates we'll be in the US this summer soon. It looks like we will be splitting most of our time between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Review Recap For August 7-13, 2016

This was prep week at the day job, and school starts on Monday, so it was a pretty slow week for me review-wise.

One thing that I did not mention previously is that I also try to crosspost my book reviews on Goodreads over to Amazon. This week's one review appears in all three places.

On Goodreads (Crossposted to Comic A Day and Amazon)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney: The latest chapter book I read with the Kiddo. He liked this one better than I did. This review appears on Goodreads, Amazon, and Comic A Day, since I consider it to be in the vague category of graphic novel.

Also This Week

I'm back to doing the occasional #tbt photo set. I've got a bunch of sets of photos from conventions and other geeky events over the years that I have been gradually posting on Flickr. I stopped last year when I got as far as 2008 in order to give it a break so I don't got through them too fast. With the start of the new school year, I've decided to resume posting throwback sets about once a month, starting with the remaining 2008 sets.

This past Thursday, I posted a set from Bethlehem PA's Musikfest in August 2008,
