OK, a bit of catching up to do.

So I am on square 15.

Next roll = 6.

I was away for a week visiting my kids & grandkids, so I didn't have my normal time in the car doing errands. Thus, not much progress on The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. (When I try to listen when I'm just relaxing, I inevitably fall asleep and lose my place). Now that I'm back home, the pace of my audio-reading should pick up again.
I did read I, Robot for square 44 (fiction). So when I finish Sweetness, I'll be done.
