Looks at Books

Currently reading CS Lewis; “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” and Brooke Shields “There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of my Mother and Me”. Brookie could’ve had a more illustrious career had she not been managed by her alcoholic mother. Had forgotten at Princeton Brooke dated a football player: Dean “Superman” Cain. After graduation she dated Liam Neeson, a heavy drinker who walked out her door and never called back. Later Kenny G's wife set her up with Andre Agassi.

 

Might have to read “Into the Wild” after reading this article about Alaska. Similar to Kristin Hannah’s “Great Alone”.

Thursday: had to stay a little late at work. To the gym to lift weights. Didn’t get home until 745. C had supper ready: beef tips, grilled vegetables, and rice. Watched Chicago Med.

 

Last day of the month. Plenty to do. Will be out of the office both Monday and Wednesday next week to I gotta get ahead. Then C drives to SC on Thursday through Sunday, then the next day is my trip to Memphis.

 

Saturday AM small group – with breakfast being served. Plenty of work around the house for the weekend. Saturday night we’re attending a Sunday School party in Woodstock. Having desserts, and a missionary couple will be sharing.

 

David Norman’s wife Beth delivered her baby girl a few days ago. The first Norman girl in a long time.

 

My other friend Reid often attends East Cobb informational meetings. Recently is was announced East Cobb would push to become a city. I told Reid he should run for mayor.

 

Once years and years ago I ran the Peachtree Road Race and ran past SPdL, saying hello to everyone. They were all calling my name. Another runner commented that I should run for mayor. Of course I didn’t know anyone the other 6.1 miles of the race.

 

I keep getting down to my current low weight, but can’t seem to push below that. Looks like we might go out tonight instead of the missions dinner, then Saturday AM breakfast and PM desserts, so it won’t be a good weekend for me weight wise.

 

News: a Disney jungle cruise ride boat “sank” yesterday, and park guests shared the story on social media. MSN.com saw fit to make this national news.

NOAH SYNDERGAARD the Texan hurler’s nickname suggests deity. His nickname is “Thor” the god of thunder in Norse mythology. Syndergaard’s lovely locks, sculpted athletic body and Norse surname make this nickname a perfect fit. He chose professional baseball of the numerous offers he had to play in college. He was courted by the University of Nebraska, Baylor University and the University of Oklahoma, but none of those schools offered him a scholarship so he signed with Dallas Baptist University because they did. He has won the National League Player of the Week Award four times. His NL Player of the Week Awards (Weeks’s calculations end on Sundays) 28-Jul- through 02-Aug-2015 16-May- through 22-May-2016 29-Apr- through 05-May-2019 29-Jul- through 04-Aug-2019 His antipathy of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys went counter to his family’s feelings. He is not alone with that sentiment.
