Another great list of books to get you through this bitterly cold winter.
Warning: You’ll probably want to read these books in private, since spontaneous maniacal laughter may ensue.

Oh, happy day. Hadn't realized that April 15 was my Tumblr anniversary.

Ted loved listening to the radio
An exclusive excerpt of Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: Growing up, on Saturday afternoons during football season, Ted [Williams] liked to get home in time to listen to the USC games on radio. He loved Irvine “Cotton” Warburton, a San Diego boy who was the team’s All America quarterback in 1933. “On Saturday night we’d listen to Benny Goodman,” Ted recalled. “Swing bands were the thing then. I still prefer swing to anything else.” His favorite radio program was “Gang Busters,” which, in collaboration with J. Edgar Hoover, dramatized closed FBI cases. Originally launched in 1935 and called “G-men,” the show featured dramatic sound effects of screeching tires, police sirens and tommy-guns.

Was at this event and the best part was seeing all the folks wearing their Cancer Votes stickers hours after the debate.
Cancer Votes Massachusetts was out last week at the U.S. Senate candidate debate in Springfield, MA, the third of four scheduled debates between Rep. Scott Brown (R) and Elizabeth Warren (D).
Cancer Votes volunteers and staff spent time talking with supporters from both campaigns about why cancer needs to be a national priority, and six volunteers and staff were able to attend the sold-out debate.
And Cancer Votes volunteer Pat Spain from North Andover gave several interviews to reporters, including one with NPR!
According to Cancer Votes staffer Patricia Mallios, volunteers and staff were able to meet a lot of people and many of them kept their stickers on during the debate and were interested in hearing about Cancer Votes.

Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
