Sneakers

Up to now I have avoided listening to podcasts, preferring to listen to books instead. I'm making an exception for Lang's new podcast with his friend Russ about basketball, sneakers, and Russ' new book:  "A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers".

I'm currently listening to the novel "Things You Save in a Fire", by Katherine Center, kind of a spinoff from her earlier book " How To Walk Away". 

Apple TV is coming out with a movie called "Lessons In Chemistry" based on a novel I had read. Things You Save in a Fire is also being made into a movie.

Having to be at work before 7 am makes getting to the gym hard. Only had time this morning to run one mile, so I made it a fast one. Hopefully this will help me just run faster in general. Guess I need to wake up earlier.

Worked past 6:30 Tuesday night. Needed to complete a project. Baked chicken, roasted potato & sweet potato wedges, and tossed salad. After cleanup it was after 8:30 before I plopped on the couch.

NEWS: Winnie has a busted eardrum. She'd been in pain for weeks. Not sure it was someone messing with her, popping her head, or how she got it. Yesterday the vet gave her anesthesia so he could do a thorough examination. So last night she was feeling poorly.

Left at five this afternoon to catch some of the Braves game. Braves started a 2023 all star pitcher, but it didn't help. Hurts having Charlie Morton injured. Braves are swinging for the fences. Phils shortening their swings and settling for singles and doubles (though its the Phillies who've hit six home runs). Philly phans may be having a good time tonight, offending America by doing the tomahawk chop - but tomorrow morning when they wake up they'll still be living in Philadelphia.

Denison on why people hate the Jews, and siding with the Hamas despite the terrorists holding Americans hostage, and murdering and dismembering babies and young girls.
