Pam (our MD's diner gal) teared up describing how people lined up to pay for meals for the 100-ish police (including the Chief and some from as far away as Boston) that showed up to eat after Friday's funeral. Good on ya Plano peeps.
Went on a stream tv watching kick - finished watching Catastrophe, started watching Mr. Robot (I'm interested..just can't marathon watch that one - too dark and....cerebral(?).) ...and lonely. also watched a documentary of the 9/11 Falling Man - always wondered about that image morbid that way....
Not sure how I came by Gabrielle Zevin's Storied Life of A.J. Fikry? The perspective threw me off a little (I like the first person) but I grew to really like this book - there were several times where I thought "what a great line" or "yes, me too!." and though the story wouldn't (couldn't?/shouldn'tve anyway) character delve more , the lines carried it for me.
A new favorite.
Really though - with all the shit going on lately, and all the media access - that book helped the most. I finished it "and gave it a pat".
but my "library room" was maxed years ago and I think jamie would freak if he could physically see how many books since then...
whatever...
Good stories are the best.
speaking of jamie... we decided yesterday that we're doing a day trip to NOLA for the mister's bday. So...back to NOLA (3rd time in a year?..) Cause why not!!...
and I'm in the mood for some old school Cory Morrow ...another story that's not so happily ever after
