Sep 2017

the storms, hurricanes, wildfires, flooding and other disasters we've had in the US this past week.

I've finally finished reading Nathan Hill's book, The Nix and must say that in spite of some of the flaws with this book--overlong and the need for tighter editing, I really enjoyed reading it and think the ending was absolutely perfect. It brought back many, many memories of the year 1968, a biggie in my own life, with all of the turmoil, especially the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, complete with Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather. I am going to add this to my list of "Best of 2017."

Hope this week is a better one for all.
