Oh, I love Salmon too! Rubbed with a little olive oil, a little sea salt and pepper, coated in black and white sesame seeds and grilled on my indoor grill. Yum! No bones!
Football for us too. I'm hoping Washington beats Oregon tonight so maybe Jayden Daniels will beat out Bo Nix for the Heisman. And maybe Iowa will beat Michigan - that would shake up the BCS haha!
I like all football. I lived in Ohio for years so was a bit sad to see my Buckeyes fall to Michigan. My granddaughter is a grad student at Northern Illinois U and they are going to get a bowl bid (finding out this Sunday I think) so I cheer for them even though they aren't in the top tier, I have been a fan of the AZ Cardinals for years....tough sledding this year lol! I really like Jalen Hurts, so I root for the Eagles and I like Brock Purdy. I also like Pete Carroll.....so you can see I'm all over the place with the NFL. I don't do fantasy football, but it really sounds like fun! Oh....I also like the KC Chiefs....and not because of Travis and Taylor haha! But that is kinda cute.
So Heather, you gave me a boost to know you enjoyed my book recommendation. I buy up copies of Dr. Westover's book to give to kids who I know are struggling. The message comes through to them clearly that they, like Epictetus the slave-philospher, that the only thing we have any real control over in our lives is our minds.
I am doing a close reading of Tara's book because of the role advocates had in her success. I want to list them and how they helped her. There were so many good people who urged her on and sometimes, almost dragged her forward. I am interested in the important role of advocates in the success of young people in a tough world. I am interested because I didn't always have advocates, but when I did, it felt like getting wings. I could fly.
That's a really interesting perspective on her story. A good friend of Bill's has worked with Young Life for many years. I believe they fill that role of advocates... to help young people get out of gangs and find a meaningful life and purpose.
Or out of junkyards and away from tyrannical fathers and abusive brothers. Too often, talented kids end up working at a lifetime dead-end jobs because no one took time to help them explore their own potential and find ways to set it free.

I'd heard about that movie on Netflix (it's Blunt, not Blount, btw LOL), but had no plans to watch it even though I'm fan of both Chris AND Emily. To answer your questions.
Do you have a favorite book to share? I only read adult romance, so I can't help you there. LOL
What’s the goofiest thing you have seen a dog do? Hop like a bunny. Those damn IG reels.....
What’s your favorite fish? Or do you even like fish? I love salmon. Preferably smothered in melted herb butter. And for the longest time, I didn't like ANY kind of fish. Probably because I was traumatized from eating fish sticks in school (just threw up a little in my mouth when I typed that. Blech!). I only started liking fish, preferably salmon, several years ago. I've had whitefish, which is kind of like Sea Bass in the way that it melts in your mouth.
Got a Ford? Car fetish? I don't really have a car fetish, but I can tell you that my Dad is a Ford man. He built a beautiful '33 Ford from the ground up after he retired. And, before my older sister wrecked it, he had a Ford LTD. Speaking of Ford, I think it's utterly crazy that they were able to build that in an hour. Based off the pic, I can see how that's possible. LOL Today, if it was that easy to build a car, I'd be incredibly leery.
Could I say Blount was a typo lol? Of course, it wasn't! Thanks for the tip!
I like adult romance too. I've gotten on a bit of a suspense/thriller kick lately, but I used to stay up into the wee hours reading Nora Roberts or Danielle Steel.
I get Big Geek Video (daily) and there are tons of dog videos which usually are good for a smile.
Ewwww, those fish sticks sound gross! But a big yes to salmon and Sea Bass. We had Corvina a couple of days ago, which is also a lot like Sea Bass. First time trying it.
I bet your Dad's '33 Ford is awesome. I really admire people who are good with cars and mechanically inclined. What color is it? (Is there a story in the wrecked LTD?!)
Thanks so much for reading, Ororo. By the way, I haven't mentioned it before, but I love your name.
The car has a chameleon paint job. Mostly purple, but as you walk past it, you can see greens, grays...it really is beautiful. So, the LTD... we were coming home from school, Sis was driving, and we were making a left hand turn at the light. It was yellow, she turned, and my side was hit. Back seat was bent up, windshield cracked all to hell but didn't shatter. And I remember a lady helping me out of the car. It helped that I leaned away before impact. That car was built like a tank, so we weren't injured. We were, like, 5 mins from the house. Cop took us home. I still remember washing glass out of my fro. :/ And thank you for the name love. I, too, love it. Lol

I have no idea what a fetish is....
That sounds yummy. A little kick perhaps...

My love of salmon extends mainly to the works of Salmon Rushdie.
Good way to start a good day!!
Thanks, Norm! Hope you have a very good day!
engaging, nicely formatted but still more neurodivergent splooge. i find my own rabbit holes.
I just finished reading “Left on 10th” by Delia Ephron and it’s a great read.
I did read Educated which often left me feeling horrified but was glad she escaped, so to speak.
That dog photo is just way too cute.
I am a huge football fan . My fantasy was to be the first woman NFL coach. You know how that worked out. 🤣
I just read a review of "Left on 10th". It really does sound good. Thanks for that recommendation!
You'd probably do better than 'Bill' is doing these days.....🏈🤣
