All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses'No, I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party -
Here's a little trap
That sometimes catches everyone
When today's as far as we can see
Faith in bright tomorrows
Giving way to resignation
That's how it is, how it's going to beIt's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
Feel the day has possibilities
Frozen in the moment
The lack of imagination
Between how it is and how it ought to be
Between how it is and how it ought to be -
I'm just sittin' here watchin' the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer ridin' on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go -

I’ve been looking at Fairytale for a while, seems like the feedback is all positive.
I enjoyed it very much. My only complaint (and it’s nitpicking for sure) is that King doesn’t quite have a great grasp of current teenagers and it sometimes felt like main character could have been a kid from the ‘50s or ‘60s with the way he talked and acted.

Does the Kindle make it easier to read with your eyes???
I can burn right through those suckers!

I'm a pretty big reader, tend to jump around across genres and physical vs Kindle books.
Last physical books finished were Geddy Lee's "My Effin Life" (highest possible recommendation!) and Stephen King's "Fairy Tale" (also very good).
On the Kindle, currently reading "An Absolutely Remarkable Thing" by Hank Green. Just started it, but feels like I'll enjoy it. Recently finished "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin, "Hail Mary Project" by Andy Weir, and "The Troop" by Nick Cutter.
Like I said...jump around across genres.

I’m a little bit country
And I’m a little bit rock 'n roll
I’m a little bit of Memphis and Nashville
With a little bit of Motown in my soul
I don’t know if it’s good or bad
But I know I love it so
I’m a little bit country
And I’m a little bit rock n roll -
You better make your face up with your favorite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter down your door
You better run! -
Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out -
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no!
I said, dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head? Oh no! -
Down in the crowded bars
Out for a good time
Can't wait to tell you all
What it's like up there
And they called it paradise
I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
While the town got high -
They put a parking lot on a piece of land
Where the supermarket used to stand
Before that they put up a bowling alley
On the site that used to be the local palais
That's where the big bands used to come and play
My sister went there on a SaturdayCome dancing
All her boyfriends used to come and call
Why not come dancing?
It's only natural -
The Audacy app is my path into WGR, so I appreciate it overall...but man do I hope the new owners put their foot down on terrible ads. If I hear that "not to loooonnnggg if you think abooouutt iiiiit" zen den drone or the overly frantic "NOT MATTER HOW MUCH DUCT TAPE YOU UUUSSSSEE" kid one more time, I'll drown a puppy.
[editor's note - I will not drown a puppy]

Hey
Well, I feel so good, everything is getting high
You better take easy, 'cause the place is on fire
She know a thing, and I have so much to do
We made it, baby, and it happened to youAnd I'm so glad we made it
So glad we made it, you gottaGimme some loving (gimme, gimme some loving)
Gimme some lovin' (gimme, gimme some loving)
Gimme some lovin' every day (eh) -
You've got a cute way of talking
You got the better of me
Just snap your fingers and I'm walking
Like a dog hanging on your lead
I'm in a spin you know
Shaking on string you know
You make me feel like dancing
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make me feel like dancing
I'm gonna dance the night away
You make feel like dancing
I feel like dancing
Dancing, dance the night away
I feel like dancing, dancing, aaaah -

Sports sites are reporting that attendance was 70,040. Can this be true? So it was a full house? No empty seats at all? I find it hard to believe, but I defer to those of you who were there. What say you?
I'm guessing the 70,040 is tickets sold, not actual attendance.

Win or lose, one thing is irrefutable- watching NFL games is painful with all commercial breaks.

Never a doubt, right? RIGHT???

This is me right now…
Bills win, get #2 seed and are an unstoppable force to the SB
Bills lose, and this season is an abject failure the like that this 60 yo fan has never seen.
Both are perfectly legit thoughts occupying my brain right now. I love/loath being a Bills fan.

Well baby, there you stand
With your little head down in your hand
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
And it looks like the endBack out on the street
And you're trying to remember, oh
How do you start it over
You don't know if you can
You don't care much for a stranger's touch
But you can't hold your manYou never thought you'd be alone
This far down the line
But I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time -
I soon as I saw the Bears-Falcons game was a CBS game, I knew that was the one we'd get here. Ah well, that just bites.

What I remember most was all of the old COBOL programmers who made an f'ing mint in the months leading up to this non-event.

I'm running here
I'm running there
I'm looking for a girl
Cause there's nothing I need
There's nothing I want more
In the whole wide worldWell, I need it quick
And I need it now
Before I start to fade away
That's why I'm searching
That's why I'm looking
Each and every dayOh, I need some love
I said I need some love!
Oh yes, I need some love
This feeling I can't rise above
Yeah, yeah -
Good god…if this is what “commercial free fourth quarter” means, bring back the commercials

A world of indifference, heads and hearts too full
Careless of the consequence of constant push and pull
Anger got bare knuckles, anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns, reverse the golden rule
Then you learn the lesson that it's tough to be so cool
Handle with kid gloves, handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the weapons and the ways of hard-knock school
Put on your kid gloves, put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson that it's tough to be so cool
