They have taught in all kinds of interesting places in the meantime. The first slide show is in April here in MB - will probably get quite a few requests in the coming months. Meanwhile, the photos will be posted a few at a time on my birding and travel sites. In the meantime I'm not getting much time to add posts to my blogs as I come out of "retirement" and take up a part time lecturing position at Tabor. (They asked me - I didn't apply.)

Everyone seems to want to give them old books, but no one wants to buy. We are seeing a real quantum leap to a new kind of engagement with bookness. The most books I've collected this year have been for my Kindle DX. That takes up little storage space. I have 4 bookshelves in my study and Jan has 3 in her study. We also have small bookcase of videos/DVDs. We are collecting more, but the space is not expanding because we are switching from videos (large cases) to DVDs (small cases). Over my life I've got rid of many books, which I now regret. But they do come around again. Many become fashionable again and get reissued. On one bookcase I have 3 shelves which contain the unread books. This enables me to handle them better, although I don't seem to be making a dent in the total. Leaving work is a great time to trim down the bookcase. When I gave up computer consulting I gained half a whole bookcase. Jan is soon to give up teaching, so her bookshelfs are about to shrink as well. The central problem is getting the time to read the books and absorb them into your thinking. Wish someone could come up with a solution to that. Some second hand bookshops have been in real trouble over the past decade. Everyone seems to want to give them old books, but no one wants to buy.

My big problem is lack of space to put book shelves - I made a big mistake when I bought a mainly open-plan house: not enough walls for shelving.
