Friday Link-Oh-Rama

Usually I'm pretty fired up about Fridays, but not when they come as the last day of a week of vacation. Oh well, the trout in Montana have 51 weeks now to recover from the beating they took.

Here's some linkage:

*** Argus has a story about one of South Dakota's greatest combat pilots, Cecil Harris. Also with a shout-out to his 93-year-young friend Harold Thune, a man I've had the great pleasure getting to know.

*** Pope Francis is pressing ahead with his efforts to strengthen ties between Muslims and Catholics. His message: Promoting Mutual Respect through Education.

*** Moron of the Month Award goes to ... Robbie Knievel, drinking and driving in my hood and not caring: "I friggin’ drink and ride … that’s my deal.”

*** Get well soon Elmore Leonard!

*** What do biocryptology and Antonio Banderas have in common? They're both at S.D. School of Mines next week.

*** Alex Rodriguez could use the Yankees' former assistant traveling secretary - Seinfeld's George Costanza.

*** Need a song for your baseball workouts? Who doesn't? Rival Sons: Keep On Swinging

*** The NPR fiction paperback best-sellers for last week. Missed it by that much.

*** My random act of kindness for the week: Rob Zombie does We're An American Band

*** Each year Forbes calculates the net worth of the wealthiest characters from novels, movies, television and games, constructing portfolios based on those stories, and valuing them using real-world commodity and share prices. You'll never guess who leads the list.

*** In case you need them: 7 tips for writing an email.
