Seahawks @ Packers 5 Things

For Seattle Lambeau=bad

Crosby trys the basics

Cmatt52

In his career Greg Jennings has averaged 34.2 yards per TD grab

Have a Good Read: The Book of Basketball

A mammoth book and a good attempt.  More anecdotal than statistical.  Author has a certain pro Celtic bias.  Heck the footnotes are great and could be published as a separate book!

Have a Good Read: Bucking the Sun

Another solid book by Doig set in Montana.  The building of Fort Peck dam and the experiences of the characters are more interesting than the unnecessary background love story.

Have a Good Read: The Farmer's Daughter

100th books of the year was another quality effort by my # 1 author Jim Harrison.  It had the typical mix in his recent novellas of: a Brown Dog Story, an off beat autobiographical piece and a more typical story.  I liked the off kilter piece about a were wolf that closes the collection the best.  As always Harrison's powers of observation floored me and left me feeling inadequate.

Have a Good Read: Treasure Island

From the classics department.  It's about travel and adventure.  About good and evil.  About the black spot and the goodness of cheese.  It's a keeper.

Goes on my shelf with Huckleberry Finn which is about lighting out and Great Gatsby about the rich.  Treasure Island it's about:  greed, adventure, guerrilla warfare?
