Thank you cortisone, thank you. We don't have diabetes, just lingering gout. Two weeks ago we were at the beach, looking good and tan, drawing the gaze of some wine moms, when a wave caught us and slammed our right heel into the ground. We limped back to the condo and for a crucial 12 hours thought we had sprained something. Nope. Our podiatrist informed us that a jarring like that can induce gout.
Get woke go broke, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell must be thinking this morning as he empties the coffee out of his thermos and fills it with bourbon. Ratings from Sunday night's Cowboy's/Rams game were down 28%. European readers, the Sunday night game is the game of the week. That's the Dallas Cowboys, of whom even Belgians have heard, vs the Los Angeles Rams and their new fangled 21st century stadium. That's a marquee matchup. That's like TV ratings being down for Italy vs Germany.
Last night we caught a quarter or so of the Giants game. The team for whom we have bled, whose victory in Super Bowl XXV is still among the top five moments of our life, whose owner* replied with a thank you note for a fan letter we sent, which sits framed on our living room wall....we felt nothing
NFL owners, you still think Radical Roger is worth $35 million a year? Mr. we could use a man like Pete Rozelle again.
Rogan wants Trump and Biden. Of course Biden will never go on the show, and we still think he'll crap out off the debates. But Trump should on Rogan, do the full four. Talk about anything and everything. Trump is making 'historic' (that's Politico not us) inroads with Blacks, Jews and Latinos but Biden is ahead in the polls? Come on, man....
Looking at the Great Nuclear War of 1975, some of the scenes are jumbled and need to be reorganized. For example, our SR-71 Hawaii scene was under the trouble in the states chapter but more appropriately belongs in the chapter showing Navy and Air Force aircraft flying recon missions to determine extent of damage. Also the book needs hard breaks. Part I: The Aftermath, Part II: Winter, Part III: Rebirth, and so on.
Hmmm...In an attempt to try to get a foothold on some kind of, any kind of social media, we've been expanding Stroock's Books on FB with maybe half a dozen posts a day. We watch a lot of Tim Pool, and urge reader(s) to do the same. Maybe we should try a morning post and a late afternoon post. Huh.
A man of letters such as myself will from time to time need to reorganize his library. That process is well underway. It took years to get our hands on all the books in the American Heritage series. There they are:
*Wellington Mara, rest in peace, sir.
