Great roundup of links. Thanks, Julie! I enjoyed the train travel article. My kids are older, but I still agree. I'm thrilled that my college freshman can take the train to college. That saves us so much driving! Plus, she enjoys it more.

Thank you! I live in Colorado where we unfortunately do not have a lot of train options but I wish their more and love that your college freshman can take the train to school :)

Maybe we can make goat yoga happen at Erma? Or goat standup?

Jinx is real and just making me laugh is the main requirement :)

Always look forward to your monthly links round up! I am so surprised and intrigued about the Chicken Soup for the Soul one. That was such a popular book in rural Ohio in the '90's- I never would have imagined it existed still! I am going to check it out for sure- getting published there might be the one thing that convinces my parents to take me seriously (maybe).

Yes check it out! They pay and still do lots of books so I think they have the business model figured out.

I enjoyed, 'Essays One,' too. Haven't seen, 'Essays two.'

I am curious about Essays Two although I suppose I should finish Essays One first.

One of my writing friends is working on a book about dragons and baking so I of course immediately had to send her a link to Bo's book. It looks delightful!

Oh good! I agree and am a sucker for anything baking-competition related :)
