Halfway through

Howdy, and Happy Canada Day! Can't believe we're halfway through 2015. Yikes! Also, today is officially the first day of my sabbatical. Heh.

A little data to mark the year so far.

• Books read to June 28: 79

• Books recorded in LibraryThing to July 1: 4125

• Top Five Songs Played in iTunes in 2015:

5. Brandi Carlile, "The Eye"

4. Over the Rhine, "When I Go"

3. The Lovin' Spoonful, "Summer in the City"

2. Bonnie Pointer, "The Beast in Me"

1. Exile, "Kiss You All Over"

Well, who knows? Maybe I'll discover good taste before the end of the year.

And for those who note these things, my half-birthday passed happily on a warm, sunny day. Cheers!
