A Few Days of Winter

Pictures: A little winter in our neighborhood.

Watching Tiger stumble and catch himself: seven shot lead reduced to two and now back up to four. They are on the back nine; sure looks nice out there in Southern California. Switched over to see the Colts stumble in the red zone and settle for three out in Oakland.

Continuing with Boom! The author is running through a series of brief discussions with and about many figures from the Sixties from a variety of lifestyles and perspectives. For instance, Bob Kerry, maverick Vietnam vet who has served as both a governor and a senator from Nebraska, and now as a college president in New York City. Dick Cheney makes an appearance and is substantially rounded out for me by the additional information that Brokaw provides including the fact that many people wonder what happened to him after 911 - a very different individual has emerged and not in a necessarily positive one - remember, he's the guy who said we would have to visit the dark side now that our homeland had been visited by terrorists. Also John McCain, notable because once released from his POW status in 1973, he was given several binders of news clips to help him catch up on some of the things that had happened during his imprisonment and forced ignorance of what was going on in the world. That would be from October of 1967 to sometime in 1973. He spent a long time catching up and trying to figure out what had happened (still got people trying to do that...).

Am enjoying it.

World turns. Looking forward to the middle of the week and the warmer temperatures. Golf weather? Maybe. In the meantime, more Brokaw.
