How’s Life, Ricochet?
Every so often, when the culture or political wars get so out of hand that even this political nerd wants to ignore it all and settle down with the cat, I throw out a “how’s life” post for Facebook. The idea is to catch up on the important stuff: kids, grandkids, parents, pets, shiny new jobs, an old job that’s driving you crazy, recipes, what-have-you.
The lovely blonde suggested a similar post for Ricochet. So, Rico-peeps, what’s new with your life outside of politics, policy, and culture wars? Have cute pet pictures? Pictures of the grandkids with watermelon all over their faces? Do you have good news to share, or need a shoulder to lean on after a summer that ought to be nuked from orbit?
As for me: I’m enjoying a very summery day (temperatures in the mid-80s). We’re going to Kimball’s for ice cream and the driving range before it closes for the season.

LOL! Yes he did. I’m going to have to use that next time my wife critiques my singing!
After reading the @oblomov review (June 2017) of Alan Furst’s Night Soldiers novels, I began reading the series. These historical novels have been a great diversion from the nuttery on TV and in the news. Plus, since they are set in WWII Europe, they are an interesting comparison to what’s going on today. So thanks, Oblomov, for the book review!
Thanks for the mention Songwriter. Glad you like the books.
