I got on a little hockey bender. I’ve read Mr Hockey by Gordie Howe, Orr by Bobbie Orr, and 99 Stories of Hockey by Wayne Gretzky. Of the three I liked Mr Hockey the best.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
I saw him play against the Rangers at MSG back in the day. Mr. Hockey indeed.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I was just watching some videos of him playing. Old school hockey. He kept his space clear with his elbows and he remembered numbers. I wouldn’t want him looking for payback.

Gordie Howe hat trick...Goal, Assist, Fight

A second volume of “What If?” by Randall Munroe coming out later this year. https://xkcd.com/what-if-2/
The original is great for kicking off fun science discussions with older kids. https://xkcd.com/what-if/
Just finished Code Girls by Liza Mundy. It is about the creation of the U.S. code breaking 'factories' of WWII and the women who carried the water. I found it interesting.

Three quarters through Dragon's Jaw: An Epic Story of Courage and Tenacity in Vietnam by Stephen Coonts and Barrett Tillman. his book is about the Navy's and Air Force's sisyphean efforts to destroy the bridge at Thanh Hoa, North Viet Nam, which was called the Dragon's Jaw. It is a not only a sortie-by-sortie look at the missions flown against the bridge, it covers the actions by the Jojnson administration with ensured the futility of the task. A good read if you are interested in the history of the VN conflict.

I put the book “Maus” on hold at the public library a couple of weeks ago. It’s still out, with several people ahead of me. It’s not available on local book store shelves. You can order it, but no telling how long you’ll have to wait.
My question is this. Where do I apply to have my books banned?
