I have tried to do this in the past, but my husband has a maddening habit of turning all of the pages inside out for easier reading and sometimes it’s just too much work to but the darned thing back together. Nevertheless, I feel I have almost come to know some of the contributors to LJW, and so I’ve decided to bring some of those bits and pieces to this column this week.
