I wonder if Verve will object.

I received this list from Penguin and thought it might be of interest. Around the World in 32 Books

Wonderful cd.

I think the missed exam one must be stress related.

I use to dream that I had missed exams. They were so vivid that when I woke up I wasn’t sure I hadn’t.

The Saudi defense is rather poor, to be charitable about it.

Belated wishes Kevin!

RM is not shy about making changes so if Lopetegui bombed, Perez would move fast. I don’t think that’s much of a factor.

For anyone thinking about it, the Quincy Jones is a very good Mosaic, with some great music.

Frankly, I don't see why the Spanish Federation got all upset. Did they have a right to be told? Not really. To me, it's a question of vanity on the part of the Federation. They have now put the team's chances at risk. Moreover, if you read the following story, their statements don't make sense. Spain Fires Coach

Spain have just fired their manager, because he was going to become Real's coach after the World Cup. The new manager is Fernando Hierro, a Real legend, whom I watched many times. A strange decision on the eve of the WC.

I’m not sure of when they begin to throw breaking balls. On Sunday mornings on WFAN in NY there’s a program with Rick Woolf where all issues regarding high school (and below) sports are discussed and this issue gets brought up from time to time. As far as offensive theories go, players seem to be taught to go for the HR. The approach they take at 0-2 seems to be the same when it’s 2-0. I think they lowered the mound after the 68 season when they lowered the ERAs and BAs. 68 was the year Gibson had a 1.12 ERA.

Here’s Calypso. Dave Holland has a three minute solo around the 5:55 mark that is fabulous.

This came from the Mossic Gazzette:

I finished listening to the Antibes session and I can’t say Clarence Palmer is my favorite organist but I also recognize that the music is supposed to be funkier. However, what I found odd is that Grant Green doesn’t get as much solo space as you’d expect. These seem more like Bartee’s or Palmer’s session than Grant’s.

I think it’s the year round, the traveling teams and all that. Moreover, they’re throwing a lot of breaking pitches. By the time they get to pro ball, teams treat pitchers’ arms like the Mona Lisa. I’ve heard Leo Mazzone (former Braves pitching coach) say that pitchers need to throw more.

Bleak indeed. I couldn't claim to be an inveterate watcher of his show. If something grabbed my interest like his shows in Vietnam, I'd watch. I thought one of his funniest spots was his appearance in The Big Short, where he explained collateralized debt obligations in cooking terms. As Mjazzg said, no problems are the same and I wouldn't try to guess at them.

That seems a little strong for someone who obviously had problems he couldn’t cope with.

Indeed. Guess we’ll see him in September 2019 or more likely 2020.
