My main blog is going to be basically books with a few personal recolections and occasional trips to the library. I was diagnosed in September with ALS/Lou Gehrig’s Disease and I will miss going to the nearby Chicago branch libraries and the Main Library, which is called the Harold Washington Library, after Chicago’s first African American. Oak Lawn, the village that I live in borders Chicago on the southwest side. Judy/Intergalactic Bookworm
