In the New Yorker...
Front-Ranger:
You were right! I LOLed three times! And then I read Jill Lepore's piece on the new Volkswagens. Very well written and some amusing, witty asides. The pickleball article was also good. I have several friends who are pickleball fanatics and I couldn't really understand the phenom. I also read about the super- and mega-yachts.

I started Lepore's piece, haven't read about pickleball yet. I should, though -- I won a pickleball set at music bingo night in my apartment building. My arm was broken, so I haven't been able to play, but I've lent the set to neighbors and they've played. Can't say I'm too excited about it; I really don't like games (except games like music bingo :laugh:).

Two in a row! The Aug. 1 Shouts & Murmurs is LOL hilarious again! You're on a roll, New Yorker!

Did your horse get lucky? Did you damage your harmonica, too?

Oh, have I not mentioned that? I was out with my son on Mother's Day when I tripped and fell face-first into a brick wall. Broke my arm at the shoulder and an orbital bone. I was lucky -- didn't break jaw, teeth, nose, skull or even glasses. I've been doing PT at a place which is conveniently located at street level immediately below my apartment. Both bones are pretty close to healed now.
