Swing Spring

I'm slowly making it through The Wolf and anticipate the story is soon approaching its end as the arrests have begun.  

We're only just over a week or so away from the March GBC and Nashville city-wide read We are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Fowler.  I know GBC P@1ge is making good progress and I hope to manage a good chunk after all the indictments are handed out above.  

My current challenge is the weather.  These warm days with hints of spring have me wanting to run or bike and sit in the backyard with a warm* G&T wondering how exactly I could engineer a hammock.  

Hope you have a great week ahead!  

*Time to start making ice again.

EmergenC

After more than a week of excessive Vitamin C dosing, it is clear that the cold is winning.

On the upside, zero chance of scurvy.

After a long day, I've postponed workout plans until tomorrow morning so I could don my moose pajama hot-pants* and read before retiring at the hour of most 80 year old women.  In case you've missed this news, there's a limited edition print run of I Could Have Painted That by Miriam Elia which has been in the news.  It's irreverent satire so fits along well beside the Wolf.  Here's a link to a visual on the book and the related news about an unhappy Penguin.  If you remember the Ladybird books, you might especially find a smile; it was hard for me to pick a favorite of the pages.

*Special nod to Mel for the gift of amazing PJ couture.  

Lude-acris

The Wolf of Wall Street.  I'm over the half-way mark and we've moved our domestic money, prostitution, drugs and NASDAQ to the international markets.  When I first starting the work, I thought the book was a bit too far-fetched to hold my interest.  As it turns out, I have continued reading in pursuit of some noble aspect to our main character, Jordon Belfort. (I haven't found one yet.)  Thus far, one of my favorite characters is the limo driver, who only nods and does not speak to Belfort.  I'm also convinced his assistant was under-compensated for her efforts.  While the book is long, the vocabulary is not varied.  Expect the frequent interjections of expletives and the word "luscious."

And despite the above, I will keep reading.  I find the book to be a bit like Kitchen Confidential  We know that bad things are happening in areas we don't want to contemplate, and these guys are bringing it forward.
