It is the middle of April, the weather goes from OK to blah. I keep looking at the outside work I should get done, but want nicer weather to do it in.
Back at trivia this week at our original spot. We had lots of laughs and we actually did pretty good, third place! There were seven teams total so not too shabby. Plus we had a wonderful guy as our waiter. One of nine! yes nine kids, from a good Lutheran family. The wait staff is given some of the answers to help teams. Although we were doing pretty good on our own. We could confirm our answers with him!
Racing season has started, did a three day weekend and that seems too much for me. I rarely have done three days so probably won't do it in the future.
Good to see friends after the winter where we don't get to see each other. To actually sit and have an extended conversation or two.
One of the cuter cars and not one we see very often. Sunrise on Saturday AM and me keeping warm and out of the wind!
On to the books of the week.
Prime Time the first book in a short series about an investigative reporter at a Boston TV station. Charlotte, aka Charlie, digs into a series of weird spam emails that relate to some sort of financial fraud.
Everyone on this Train is a Suspect - the book blurb reads Murder on the Orient Express meets Clue. On a train between Darwin and Adelaide a group of crime writers, agents, editors and fans. When one of the writers is killed, the other writers take on the role of detective. Which one of them will end up in cuffs?
Reading the Constitution is a very deep dive in how different justices interpret laws and the Constitution. Written by former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, it is a deeply researched providing examples of actual cases. Why some justices prefer what is called textualism versus pragmatism. Hard read and I will admit I skipped through parts to read the parts that I wanted to know more about.
Happy Reading.
