It’s a slow weekend in Craig, but maybe that’s for the best, considering the weather is slated to be chilly and snowy and/or rainy.

It’s a good time for spring cleaning, catching up or kicking back — maybe with a few of the new releases out on DVD.

• Meet the author during a meet-and-greet at Downtown Books, 543 Yampa Ave.
