Mike Steinharter’s Musings
It wss 2020 (and now its not) and I finally decided to blog a bit. I have no idea if anyone will find this interesting to read, other than perhaps one or more of my kids (I am quite sure my wife will not), but it is fun and I have the time (after all it’s 2020, the year no one could imagine) so, why not? Enjoy.

I found the idea of reading…
The News
I have been a loyal subscriber to the NY Times for many years. When I lived in CT I got the NYTimes delivered to the house each morning. I would read it and the Wall St Journal every day on the way to work in NYC. The Times has always leaned left and the Journal…
Reading
I read an article recently questioning whether audiobooks were in fact reading. I offer my views here. Firstly I would like to point out that I read a lot of books. This year I am up to 60 books, according to goodreads, and most of them are in fact books – books in real paper,…
