My time spent in Lethbridge has been uneventful at best, with much time spent doing next to nothing. As we don't have a tv, it also means that I don't have my usual access to current events, and so am completely in the dark about just about everything. For the most part I found little trouble with this, current events not being a particular interest of mine in the first place, but today I discovered a bit of news that left me rather crushed. Brian Jacques died this past February.
Brian Jacques was the writer of the Redwall series, a group of books for children that unlike most, was unpatronizing, intelligent, and just brilliant in every way.
