Happy Halloween. Instilling fear in the hearts of all opposing teams, we are the scary Super Bowl Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles!

I finished Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond. A must read for understanding root causes and solutions to poverty and housing issues. Heartbreaking, infuriating, the way public policy has rewarded profit over human dignity.

I joined @realsharonmcmahon.bsky.social #Governerds #BookClub last season and while I did not reup this season, this is one of the books and she gets Justice Barrett for a discussion with the club. I just finished and it’s a fascinating look at the court from her pov. 1/

Finished The Quiet Damage: QAnon and the Destruction of the American Family by Jesselyn Cook. Very worth reading. Especially if you have friends or family who are QAnon or adjacent. It’s an addiction and the cure is very similar.

Finished my first Taylor Jenkins Reid novel on a recommendation from my wife. Carrie Soto is Back. Very fun and gripping. It makes me want to play more tennis.

Finished reading Jaws. If you love the movie, you absolutely must read the book. There are some amazing story lines that had to be cut from the movie. So good.

I have finally finished book 4 of Robert Caro’s The Years of Lyndon Johnson. I hope Caro is ready to publish the final book soon. Just an incredible level of detail and understanding of American political history. This one doubles as a biography for JFK and RFK to a major extent.

Walked right in to an outstanding drumline. Then this lady walked up to me and asked “What number is between 32 and 34?”
Me: 33
Her: Correct, here’s a mini helmet signed by #33 Cooper DeJean!
Me: 🤯🙏❤️🔥🦅🏈🙌

Just finished Angela Merkel’s memoir “Freedom”
Totally worth reading if you pay attention to international affairs for fun to see all of the news of our lifetime from her point of view. Just a fascinating perspective from a scientist turned politician.

I finally finished House by Tracy Kidder. This was gifted to me by a colleague after we built our house. Wife and I started reading it on a road trip but never got around to finishing it. So I found it on audio and finished it.

I finished George Mason: Forgotten Founder. Really happy to read his bio having read so many other founders. I went to George Mason University for my BA&Masters but didn’t know really anything about him. The title is apt. Not my favorite bio but worth the education.

Wife and I read “Behind Her Eyes” and the end was worth it. So we watched the Netflix show to see how well they stayed true to the book. Honestly they did a great job sticking to the book, but it was just not a good adaptation. Not like Queens Gambit which was excellent.

Finished Caro’s Means of Ascent, book 2 in the series The Years of Lyndon Johnson. I have now read the first 3 and I love them. So much of this one focused on election fraud in primaries run by Texas conservatives. And it was just as much a Coke Stevenson biography as anything for LBJ. 📚👀 #booksky

Why are the #Eagles the only team that can make winning feel like losing?

Honestly, great win. Packers are always a tough and worthy opponent.

Garage Beer finally available in Virginia (Weis). It’s going to replace Yuengling as my beer to watch #Eagles games. As long as we beat #Dallas tomorrow, that is.

🧵 continues. I finished @rickhasen.bsky.social A Real Right to Vote. Great arguments for the next constitutional amendment. My only edit is that I would also enfranchise felons even while serving time.

Now back to Dostoevsky. AND just got notice Dickens is also back. #Libby
