Weird and cool so far.

A great picture to look at and dream about. For reminiscing and missing.

Reading Gilgamesh now. I always want to say Gargamel.

This is a fun book. The stories are aimed at pre-teens, especially boys who may not be interested in reading. Well, that was me about 35 years ago. The stories are all sports tales; some are fictional narratives; others are interviews or nonfiction pieces by professional athletes or public figures. When I am done, I am going to gift my first edition copy to a sports-loving friend who has kids of his own.

The book got difficult, mired in legal minutiae. Of course, it's important, but it's like making someone who just passed his driver's exam read cover-to-cover a Chilton's manual on the make of his vehicle from 50 years prior to present, every system, every part. I'm skimming, but still. Incidentally, Passman warns of this at the beginning and offers coping strategies such as signposts of when to skip ahead.
