Early Modernists: I've encountered a symbol in a page signature and don't know how to represent it in a citation. The closest I can find in MS Word is unicode 0260, "Latin small letter g with hook." How would you represent this? Does it have a name?

Ok fellow nerds, which piece of classical music is the most likely to be an earworm for you? Curious because Mendelssohn's "Fingal's Cave" has been in my head for four days now.

Long shot, but any vintage mystery fans in my followers who want to talk Patricia Wentworth for a minute?

Well, there's another white shirt lost to my underestimating how much tea was left in my mug.

Weather radar says there is no snow here at the moment. The view out my window says otherwise.
