Update on Mail Forwarding Problems
I went through all of my domains at Go Daddy and updated the registration information. Some of it was wrong or out of date. This seems to have fixed the problem.
It's a good news / bad news thing. The good news, obviously, is that the problem is fixed. The bad news is that the Go Daddy tech support people I spoke with couldn't identify the problem, and worse said there was no problem.
Anyway, it's fixed and I'm happy. I hope my posting this fix helps somebody else in the future.

Go Daddy Email Forwarding Problems?
I use email forwarding through Go Daddy for one of my domains, and in the last week it has stopped working. I called GD and asked if they were having problems; they said no. I tried loosening up the spam filters on the receiving side, but it didn't do any good. So we're foregoing the service, which makes me unhappy.
Can anybody corroborate my experience? Got a workaround? And can anyone suggest a low-cost domain purchase and/or parking service that includes reliable email forwarding? (I don't want to have my domain registrar hosting my email, no matter who it is. Once bitten twice shy ...)

The Book Shop in Daily Review
Those of us who love The Book Shop in Hayward were happy to see the article about Hank Maschal in Saturday's Daily Review. In it, Staff Writer Kristofer Noceda got a lot of the details exactly right. For example: "If friends were made solely on first impressions, Maschal wouldn't have many. Yet he does, several of them longtime, loyal customers. That customer loyalty is what helps keep the store open." Count me among them. I also liked Noceda's calling Renée Rettig "the sweet to [Hank's] sour." An excellent article about a gem of a place.

Back from China
I spent a quick week in China (Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Shanghai) and got back yesterday. A good time, but too fast; also I have a bit of a sore throat now. Anyway, I plan to post some photos, video, and audio, but it probably won't be soon.
