But what's the game?

I'm surprised he didn't get questioned about all that metal at departure or upon arrival.

I wonder how many of his peers waited forty years for their investment to pay off, then died before getting to enjoy this run.

😀

Thanks for sharing this. I have a lot of respect for Sorkin, even though I don't usually agree with him. Off topic, but one of Sorkin's pupils is enormous. He has some kind of medical condition. I didn't notice it for years, but once it was pointed out to me I can't watch him on CNBC without thinking WTF?

Good point

I remember that day well. I was taking a course on commercial real estate law in lower Manhattan and they had the TV on in the cafe during the lunch break. I remember the shock and the uncertainty of the announcers in seeing what they were seeing.

Excellent post. Don't think I don't know what you're doing. This one might actually be good enough for a grand slam.

7 ° F. -14 C°. One of my dogs won't poop unless she finds the exact perfect spot. With all the snow and ice she couldn't make up her mind this morning. I always try to ignore weather, but this morning was rough.

I was surprised too. He didn't question it. In fact he liked the idea of being on the coast. I never really stop much along I-95 in North Carolina. I do really love the Outer Banks. We vacationed there once when I was a kid, and I spent some time there in my early 20s. What do you like about NC?

Nah. Back in the day, certainly.

Fair enough. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for this. I don't read too much of this fiction, but I am curious. Do you really think it would be terrible to pick it up as a stand alone?

That's very sweet

BTW, I love that book, but I'm going to have to include two dogs and a cat. Maybe an RV is the answer.

I like how you freely generalize and stereotype like me. I like NYC and Washington DC cops based on personal experience. Maryland and Georgia highway cops are the worst.The Waffle House came up in the North/South conversation. My buddy thinks he's too good for the Waffle House. After my dad passed, I used to drive my mother and her two cats back and forth between New York and Florida twice a year for fifteen years. EVERY FL to NY trip began with breakfast at the Waffle House.

I think it is the one connected to Mayakita, but I re-read it and now I'm not sure.

Great report! I have been there twice, but not since Isa opened her cafe. I'm hoping to visit again soon.

This is great. The sprouting corpse lines always stuck in my head, but I was too lazy to dig deeper (no pun intended)
