Dare to Know by James Kennedy

I have accepted a challenge from Sandra G to post 12 books that I have read. One per day, no exceptions, no reviews, just the covers. The goal is to promote literacy and to create a good reading list.

True Dat

Norm MacDonald

I'm shocked.  SNL alum and comedian Norm MacDonald is dead at 61. 

“I’m pretty sure, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure if you die, the cancer dies at the same time. That’s not a loss. That’s a draw.”

A Brewers No-Hitter!

Two days ago I randomly spent far too much time thinking that 34 years was too long between no-hitters, and that with our current pitching staff, we should've gotten one this year. . . .

You're welcome.

A No-Hitter for the Brewers!

A Slenderman Update

Good. I wish her well. Not only is it ridiculous that people are outraged she wasn't locked away for life - AT TWELVE! - she clearly had mental issues, and *her victim lived.* Rarely do I pull the race card, but bs all this noble Waukesha fury would exist if it happened to two kids with darker complexions.

Art Metrano

RIP Lt. Mauser from the Police Academy films.

Have you seen this man?

First Day of College!!!

And that's a wrap! LuLu starts school today with her longest day of the week!

Have a great year OJ!

 Team Slap is all back to school!

Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

All the lavish praise and talk of how this book is a "true tour de force"? That's evidence that publishing people done lost their minds. The writing style is strong, I'll grant you that, but the plot belongs in a second tier Encyclopedia Brown story, and the "twists" are so obvious you have to wonder why he bothered writing them down. (irritating minutia: if you're foolish enough to read the book, count how many times the healthy main character feels faint . . . simply from missing a single meal.) 

Pass.

5 HOF

With Ted Simmons's induction next week, 5 Hall of Famer's will have played for the 1982 Brewers: Yount, Molitor, Fingers, Sutton, and Simmons.

Willard Scott

"The Today Show" weatherman extraordinaire Willard Scott died today. RIP.
