A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Back by popular demand. Back by popular demand. Is a euphemism. After almost a year hiatus I doubt I have any readers. Prove me wrong? From colleagues I have observed much and learned as well. From associates at other libraries I have learned that somethings never change. By the way, I hear. Can be a bitch. Important topics from work and the ether:. Contracts for electronic resources and data. Customer...

A Room with a Window: Quotes from my ancestors
http://aroomwithawindow.blogspot.com/2012/06/quotes-from-my-ancestors.html
A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Monday, June 25, 2012. Quotes from my ancestors. My family grew up in a sort of extended household. We lived in the same home where my mother and my grandmother had been reared. The house had been made into two apartments and we lived upstairs and my grandparents lived on the main floor. We respected each other's space, but we were back and forth constantly. I have talked about my great-grandfather, Peter Randolph Lawyer.

A Room with a Window: Knowing someone you never met.

A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Knowing someone you never met. I had the good fortune of growing up in the same household with my maternal grandparents. Not only that, it was the same home in which my grandmother had been reared. There is mention of the house and its history elsewhere in this blog. Life on a farm is never easy and in those days I'm sure there was a lot of work. But Papa Lawyer must have applied himself. He we...My gr...

A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Monday, January 2, 2012. 2012 - Starting fresh. The year in review. 2011 was a year full of unexpected events for me. One thing I had planned - a pilgrimage to the Holy Land - came off and was a true delight! I left my government job and endured some employment but I ended the year gainfully employed and hopeful for my future progress. And I made some improvements to my health. Eat less and exercise more! Whenever Weight Watch...

A Room with a Window: August 2012
http://aroomwithawindow.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. Emotions are funny things. In February 2011 I joined Weight Watchers and successfully lost about 85 lbs. I am generally thrilled with the transformation and almost used to the new me - though I do look in the mirror at times and try to remember what I used to look like. That's like getting two extra hours in the day! Fortunately with the new job I will be able to pay this off in pretty short order and...

A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Sunday, June 19, 2011. There is much to write in here and I will get on it. I am gainfully unemployed at the moment having left my last job at the beginning of May. I have applied for government jobs as well as two positions at Catholic University. That would a 10-15 minute walk from my house! At this point I am just waiting for an interview. Say that three times fast! The Upper Room, the Garden of Olives and Gethsemane and th...

A Room with a Window: September 2013
http://aroomwithawindow.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
A Room with a Window. The sometimes poignant ramblings of an urbane librarian. Monday, September 30, 2013. This morning as I was on my way to work - thinking about the possible (likely? Federal government shutdown and the ripples that will have across the economy, I had an epiphany. The current Republican Party seems convinced that Obamacare will fail - is actually already dead-in-the-water. They have repeatedly voted to repeal it - and their efforts have been thwarted by the Democratic Party. Of course,...
