Word After Word

 My friend J the librarian is helping me design an assignment for (re)introducing students to the lost art of browsing. No pop up menus! No yahoo ads. Just lost in the stacks, scrolling with your body not the pearl, unplugged, nowhere to be and all day to get there. I know the assignment is doomed to fail. It’s like insisting everyone have more fun at your party. It’s like begging someone to love you madly. But J is very, very clever and also superbly kind so it could possibly work.
