I come here to escape. Instead, everything wrong with the world is brought here and distorted & amplified.
Nothing Fun

I know what you mean.
Try this, it might not qualify as fun but it's interesting. At least I thought so. http://www.space.com/33439-spacex-dragon...-crs9.html

True: Interesting and kind of funny as expressed by the NSA spokesperson.) And BBQ, "I can feel your pain". There does seem to a lot of ranting and raving. Guess I do a lot of it. But not many folks come here to discuss books recently read, give accounts of movies seen and what they liked or didn't like about them, and the many other social things we do. Anyone else reading History? "Hamilton" is hot now because of the Broadway play and I'm trudging through the 800 plus pages. Good read, but not for an all day sit. Clete (and TVG, and others, I guess) discuss the gardening thing. I can understand the interest, it's just that it's not one of my interests. Still, I often find it fun to follow along. So Barbie, it's double true: Lots of pain and suffering going on and while we don't want to ignore it, it's kind of macabre to dwell on it at length. So...find something to entertain us with.

It looks like the kind of read that would be a good break after reading something "heavy duty" that required lots of concentration.

It's also a small peek into one couples rather interesting lifestyle during the mid to late 40's.

Not a book I would normally pick up by just reading the cover. On your recommendation I looked it up and I'll be reading it this coming "reading season" . For me that's November to March or so.
