Writers these days....

Matthew Continetti in today's Weekly Standard online:

Tom Wolfe, lamenting the current state of American fiction: "Writers come from master-of-fine-arts programs now. If you add up the college education of Steinbeck, Hemingway and Faulkner, you get to spring break of freshman year."

Nearly There

We've been moving right along. Just after Thanksgiving, Steve moved us into the kitchen with new appliances, and we were out of the garage to cook and clean just before the cold weather hit.
Then it was new oak countertops that require every other day oil treatments for awhile. The color and texture change is wonderful.
The island and island lights were next, and now we find ourselves spending much of the day around it.
Last were cabinet doors and hardware.
Just some finishing touches required, but we are in the kitchen and loving it.
