Spring like weather this week. Really nice on Monday, sunny and 60s, still sunny but cooler now. Still nice to be outside. I have spent some time picking up sticks that have come out of the trees during the winter.
Trying out a new place for trivia tonight. The trivia is run by the same group that does our usual place, but we can check out the food. We are going early enough to have dinner first. See which place we like the best.
Ducky had his semi-annual vet appointment yesterday. Waiting on blood and urine results. Like me, you get old, you gotta go to the doctor more often!
The Bishop and the Butterfly is an account of the rampant corruption in New York City, which was controlled by politicians associated with Tammany Hall. The Bishop was Samuel Seabury who led the investigation into the police and elected officials of New York who were taking multiple bribes. The Butterfly was Vivian Gordon, aka The Butterfly of Broadway, whose diaries and little black books outlined so much of those on the take.
Churchill's American Network outlines the relationships that Winston Churchill made with American citizens. Starting in the late 1800s, Churchill embarked on lecture tours to promote connections between Britain and the USA, as well as earning him speaking fees to support his lifestyle. Churchill often reminded people that his mother was from the US. The people he had in his network included politicians, the mover and shakers of business and industry, as well as entertainment. All of which came into good use during World War II.
The Wharton Plot a combination of historical fiction and murder mystery. Inspired by true events author Edith Wharton works to find the killer of David Graham Phillips, an author with ideas that don't always sit well with people. Both Wharton and Phillips are real people.
House Cat beautiful cats and the beautiful homes they live in. Mostly pictures and mainly living spaces from the east coast. From one cat to nine cats per dwelling.
I think there are a few people who need to read more. Some of the stupidity lately is just draining. I want to be informed but that gets to be draining on my sanity!
For those who celebrate, have a wonderful St Patrick's Day.
Happy Reading
