No posting this week due to vacation (yay!). As moderator I’ll try to check in daily to approve your comments, if any, for publication. Columns will continue appearing as I wrote a week’s worth in advance!

In the meantime, a public service announcement for the reading public (which presumably includes anyone reading this, right?). The Magic Door used bookstore in Pomona is celebrating its fifth anniversary all this month. How is it celebrating? With a 30 percent off sale.

Yep, 30 percent off for 30 days. I’m sorry I’ll miss the first week of the sale but will definitely hit it when I get back. Don’t buy anything you think I might want! Oh, OK, do what you like.

Magic Door is at 155 W. 2nd St., a half-block west of Garey Avenue; phone 472-2991.
