The Summer You Were Mine Book Review
Beautiful Setting, Lukewarm Story I have mixed feelings about The Summer You Were Mine by Jill Francis. While the family’s Italian villa setting is beautifully described, the story itself didn’t grab me. I had a really hard time caring about the main characters, Ellie and Cris.  On the other hand, the extended family seemed three-dimensional and real, although some of the relationships seemed emotionally incestuous.

I think a lot of people think the point of sports is that your team will win and then you will be happy. That is not the point of sports. The point of sports is to be sad in a group

The Trump admin is moving to quickly deport two men who witnessed, they say, ICE guards choke a fellow detainee to death. The admin moved to deport men right after they spoke the Washington Post. This is the death that the medical examiner has already ruled likely homicide. wapo.st/4qR1T1U

The two men’s eyewitness accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp differ from the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

While reading to my grandson, he asked me to read from my Kindle (so he could boop my pages). I’m currently reading 99 Ways to Die and How to Prevent Them by Ashely Alker, M. D., so now he knows much more about H1N1 and Hepatitis A and B than the average 3 year old.

I’m watching a Christmas romcom that features a novelist who traveled to Buffalo for a book signing. They heard that a snowstorm was coming in, so naturally they were worried about getting over the mountain pass before the storm got bad.

Two children died in Buffalo over the weekend, in a fire caused by a space heater. You know who doesn't die in fires caused by space heaters? Rich people. There is public assistance for heating, but not everyone can get it, and the right still wants to eliminate the benefit.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...
And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.
