@travisbaldree.bsky.social
The notification that you liked my post came through as I was sitting down to eat breakfast with my family. To the concern of my children, I may have let out a squee of joy. "What's wrong with dad?" 🤣 Thank you for that little jolt of excitement this morning.

Started reading #TheWanderingInn on a whim. Guess I'm a fan now because I can't put it down. Currently at 1.33R. Crazy things just happened, and I have to head off to work soon! Ugh. #readingproblems 😬

I just finished reading this wonderful book by #ArunGandhi. The Gift of Anger covered a selection of life lessons Arun learned from his grandfather, the late Mahatma #Gandhi. Powerful lessons on a peaceful approach to living life. #reading #books #philosophy #literature

Breaking- HB3225 which would have set age restrictions at public libraries failed to pass the Senate deadline tonight. We are glad to know that Texas public libraries can continue serving patrons and allowing families to make their own choices.
