Books I'm Reading ...
I love to read. My idea of a great day off is sitting out at the ocean with a great book. Here are a few books that I've been reading lately:
Scratch Beginnings
Adam Shepard is a college grad who took off after graduation with the shirt on his back, $25, an empty gym bag and hit the road to see if the if attaining the American Dream is still possible. This book is his story.
Update: I just finished this book. The outcome was predictable and Mr. Shepard's experiences really don't qualify him for the soap box he seems to want at the end of the book. It was a disappointing read. It started off well but flopped in the end.
Waiter Rant
I was shopping at Barnes and Noble on the Promenade the other day and ran across this great new book. Written by Steve Dublanica, this is the story of the restaurant business from a waiter's point of view at an upscale restaurant in New York.
A terrific read. This book was a real page turner. |
The Los Angeles Dodgers ...
Well everyone knows that I'm a life-long Dodger fan and that I usually use this space for thoughts about the Dodgers. But as the 2009 season officially ends and the New York Yankees win their 27th World Series, it's time to congratulate them on their season this year.
No other team in baseball, not even my Dodgers, comes close to the record the Yankees hold in winning 27 World Series championships.
The 2010 season will be here before you know it. Spring training is almost just around the corner. But for now, the Yankees deserve to be recognized for winning yet another World Series crown!

Congratulations New York Yankees!
2009 World Series Champions! |
