My wife turned me on to great books.
I don’t read on her level, but started reading a little a few years back.
We have a freaking library still packed away from our move, but here are a few of our favorites.
She is actually reading “live and let die” as I type.

Did Ian Fleming write that one?

Yes.
His 007 books were hard to find, just a couple of years back, at the height of cancel culture.
Bond was considered sexist, racist and anything else you could think of.

Keep it Classy Baton Rouge...

I saw another video of this altercation, but taken from behind the woman. The guy she's going berserk at is also an LSU fan! So what's it about?

I'm suspicious that maybe this is gonna prove to have been staged to promote something (other than LSU season tickets).

You weren't kidding! Those are modern classic titles, many that will be just as enjoyable or worthwhile to read 20 years from now. Nice find (meaning, your wife)!

Kershaw at 2,997 strike outs.. next up the White Sox Wednesday in L.A.

I can’t wait to watch him get 3k!
I really enjoy watching him throw and he is a dying breed of pitcher.
He may just be the last 3,000 k guy that we see.

A couple of my favorite finds from thrift shops.
The War book doesn’t even mention the civil war, it predates the civil war and Abe Lincoln as president!!
Somewhere my wife has a 1936 first printing Gone with the wind!
All three books were $1 each!!
Who the hell would donate something like this to a thrift store?

Who's Bridgit? She's cute with those dimples. Looks like the early 2000s.

LOL--I'm so backwards in my movie tastes that "Movies from the '90s" is trivia for me! I had to google up a list, and still had only seen maybe 12 movies from that entire decade (and most because of my wife).

I just pitched an event for our local Silver Screens Society to present a dozen or more opening scenes from classic movies for group discussion. I've offered it as a summer school class in the past, and do it monthly for some very bright oldsters who needed more mental stimulation than their regular activities were providing.

I would have to think about it. I've noticed that beginnings of many movies are the best parts. I think the opening of "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) might be a good one to use.

Kershaw's next scheduled start is expected at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox.

Wish someone would sign Greinke to get there. He is so close.

Chris Sale could get there if he stayed healthy…

21 strikeouts away. Braves should sign him for rest of season..

Even if we used him for long relief I wouldn’t mind it. I’m sure he still has something left. Better than what we keep trotting out of the pen every night.
