More JFK Reading

Just started another JFK book, about his entire life…called “An Unfinished Life”. It’s not Reckless Youth, which I’d already read. Didn’t know that one was made into a TV miniseries. “Forever Young” was a good one about JFK Jr. Found out his father barely won a letter at Harvard playing baseball. In high school he led the city of Boston in hitting, earning him “The Mayor’s Cup”, presented to him by mayor “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald, his future father-in-law.

Anna always gets the short end of the stick. She’s been pretty busy. She has ballet four times a week…Monday thru Thursday. Lots of school and friends. Hard to believe she’s doing the “big girl” dances at ballet.

Often I feel like I spend too much time on trivial things. Like my mom…ever since it was decided Thanksgiving would be at our house, she’s been calling every day. The other night she called at 10 pm for Ceil, who was already in bed. Ceil and I are the last-second types, of course.

The rainy commutes have been rough. Don’t know why Atlanta Street thru Roswell was jammed last night, while the river was clear. This AM I took Will & two others to Living Science. Got there too early, at 7:45. Crossed Sandy Plains near the library. After almost two hours in the car, it was hard to climb out. Got back to exercising these last two weeks, so I’m sore.

Saw some of the Hawks/Knicks last night, and figured Lang was there. Nice that he was on Holman’s radio broadcast. It’s hard to hear way out here in the burbs.

Fuddruckers yesterday for lunch, with the Ogre. His remodeled kitchen may not be finished in time for Thanksgiving.
