| 8/3/26 | The Hive and the Honey-Bee, by Rev. L.L. Langstroth, Part 4 | Let's kick off a new theme month I'm calling The Wayback Machine, in which we relax with works that have slipped out of rotation for a few years. First, it's back to the beehive, with the rearing of queens, the mathematical superiority of the hexagon, and how the weirdness of royal jelly…proves religion?

| 7/27/26 | Robert's Rules of Order, by Major Henry M. Robert, Part 2 | Let's relax and sleep with one of the most spectacularly dull books ever written on the art of running meetings.
