Due to sequestration, I haven’t posted in a while, so let’s get this thing re-kicked off with a Link-Oh-Rama:
*** My son will be a sophomore in high school. I just ordered this bit of light reading for his required summer reading list: Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee Ilibagiza, who will be in Rapid City this fall.
*** St. Paul author Vince Flynn was working on his 14th Mitch Rapp novel when he died last month. It’s release has been postponed indefinitely. Bummer.
*** As Robert Frost said, good fences make good neighbors. Bad fences make … Funky Zonkeys.
*** So this is the guy, Aaron Gleeman, whose Link-O-Rama this is modeled after. He owns two ties.
*** As The New Yorker explains in “America’s Star System,” it’s good to be king, rock star, business mogul, athlete. Not sure that’s news, but that’s The New Yorker.
*** My Minnesota Twins have a super stud in the making in the minor leagues named Miguel Sano. He’s been benched because he supposedly took too long running around the bases after a home run: 29 seconds. My question is, how would the struggling Twins coaching staff know how long it’s supposed to take?
*** Jacqueline Palfy at the Argus Leader is reading “The Round House” by Louise Erdrich. She loves this, truly loves this.
*** I’m not pro-jewel thievery, but I am pro-fiction-becoming-fact. The Pink Panther jewel thief has escaped from a Swiss prison. He is the third member of the gang to escape, reinforcing my lack of faith in Swiss prisons.
*** Finally, this week's nominee to just go away.
