Matlock's System by Reginald Hill
This is an early dystopian work by Reginald Hill, a writer best known for mystery novels.
In the near future everyone in the UK has been fitted with a device that stops their heart at an age decided by the government, and based on the economic state of that year's budget. Does it sound morally wrong and ripe for abuse? Yes. You know who thinks so too? Matlock, the former politician who thought it up and got it enacted, but who now campaigns against it, in near anonymity.
But it seems like someone remembers Matlock after all, because an awful lot of important people are suddenly looking for him . . .
I enjoyed the novel and think Hill did a good job of world- building, and even 50 years after it's publication it has something to say about the state of our world.
I recommend it.

Dinner at Palomino's
Last night Lisa and I dined at Palamino's, a restaurant/ bar in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood. We split a bowl of chili and a pulled pork sandwich plate.
I found the chili very appetizing, if a little sweet, but thought the cornbread was too dry. Lisa, on the other hand enjoyed the cornbread - a first in my memory - but wasn't thrilled with the chili.
We both enjoyed the large (and messy!) sandwich and the ample portion of fries.
We'd definitely eat there again.
Sawyer
We adopted a brother for Huckleberry (on March 4th) and named him Sawyer, iykuk. They say he's 2yo but his paws and behavior say puppy all day. Here's a picture of him...in movement as usual! - Lisa

RIP William Hurt
Oscar winner William Hurt has passed of prostrate cancer, age 71. I remember him best from "Children of a Lesser God," but the kids probably know him from his appearances in the Avengers movies. RIP

My Bestie is Better Than Yours
My bestie is better than ur bestie ...either that or she just thought my feet were THAT bad. Lol - Lisa
My Thoughts - The Milwaukee Public Musuem
Repairs are needed, but I'm conscious of the deliberate portrayal of their woes that the Milwaukee Public Museum is crafting in the media. They want a new, smaller, building, and they're in full spin mode to get it. 100 million in (alleged) deferred maintenance does not somehow make a quarter billion dollar move justifiable. My vote is NO.
RIP Emilio Delgado
Emilio Delgado, who played the iconic Luis, owner of the "Fix-It Shop" for 40 years on Sesame Street, died today at the age of 81.
RIP sir, you were a big part of my early childhood.

On Online Packers "fans"
Packers fans - the online version - are embarrassingly naive in general and ignorant of the game and the business behind it. Not to mention they write like they were held back 3x in second grade. You are, in part, representing me when you speak, so, ummmm - DON'T.
