Seeing Someone Reading A Book You Love Is Seeing A Book Recommending A Person.

Amazing

things can work out…books are not dead…well, they are dead trees, but not dead as a business. 

South America? #Brogan thinks the piece foil he tore off the #chocolate #EasterBUnny (by #RussellStover) looks like South America. Not Jesus. Sigh.

Ted Williams had great aim off the field 

An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”:  On Saturday mornings as a boy, Ted [Williams] and one of his best friends, Joe Villarino, would hike up into the hills outside of San Diego and go rabbit hunting, swim and look for Huck Finn-like adventure. “One day,” Villarino remembers, “we was walking around this trail and a rattlesnake come out and Ted shot it with a .45 he had. We laid it aside, and when we came back, he wrapped him around his neck and shoulders and carried it home.  Another time, at Dobie’s Pond, there was a kid in trouble. He was about eight or nine. We was about fourteen or fifteen. The kid was kinda splashing around. Ted went in and got him. He didn’t make a big deal of it. He didn’t like to be in the limelight too much.”

Understood in gambling terms, Twitter is a large and popular casino. There are design features that reward you for small victories while distracting you from commensurate failures. There are no clocks in Twitter. Time is displayed differently within its walls, measured not in dates but in distance from the present. All other visible numbers are cumulative, but you are given the impression that the past does not exist. It most certainly does, permanently and yet stripped of protective context.
