Chapter 6: Parent’s Night

“Oh, I see,” said Mrs. Kemp, a remark Ramona knew grown-ups made when they were not interested in conversation with children.

… although fathers, Ramona knew, did not spend as much time as mothers thinking up ways to improve their children.

📖 Read pages 120-140 of Ramona the Brave by Beverly Cleary

📖 Read pages 120-140, Chapter 7: Alone in the Dark, of Ramona The Brave by Beverly Cleary (William Morrow and Company, , ISBN: 0-688-22015-0)

Ramona doesn’t sleep at night and gets cranky and tired. A chapter with a lot of inner turmoil about a first grader.

Spurred by some events over the past week or so, I’ve finally made some modifications to the Post Kinds Plugin to allow me to make explicit acquisitions posts on my website. I can now make public posts of purchases, gifts, found things, or objects donated to me. You can find them here: http://boffosocko.com/kind/acquisition/

I still need to do some clean up work, but generally they look reasonable enough.

You can force me to make a new one by giving me something off my wishlist.

Bridgy now supports stars (likes), replies and new issues in early beta. I believe the Issue kind is coming to post-kinds. Forgive me if this is already being worked on.
@snarfed and @dshanske are brilliant!

With any luck, this will be my first POSSE reply to Github via my WordPress site using Bridgy Publish.
