The Writer's Life 1/18 - Here & There

A  few words on two TV series. Episode three of season eleven of The X-Files was a second straight step in the right direction. It's good to see Mulder and Sculley succumbing to a relationship. Given all they've been through together, it's only natural... Seal Team is an interesting mix of action and the domestic life of its members. I have no idea if such squads undertake clandestine missions so frequently, but I love how the stories transition from peril to the mundane. Imagine being in a life or death situation and, hours later, having to think about household problems.

The unemployment rate among black Americans has fallen to its lowest rate in 45 years, 6.8%. Among Hispanics it's 4.7%, the lowest in more than a decade. Usually, a president receives credit for good economic news that occurs on his watch. Like Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump is an exception.

Coaching at the top collegiate and pro levels, although lucrative, is unforgiving. Pittsburgh Steelers' management has fired its offensive coordinator, Todd Haley, despite the fact that the team ranked third in yardage and eighth in scoring out of 32 NFL teams.

From Yahoo's Odd News: A paper cup allegedly used by Elvis Presley six decades ago in Oklahoma is up for auction. Bidding has surpassed $1200. I've said this before - if  someone put E's or any of the Beatles' poop in a bag, crazies would buy it.

I made a tactical error regarding the floating book shop today. I set up at my regular nook, the wares in the shade cast by the scaffold. It was a lot colder than I expected, even standing in the brilliant sunshine at the corner of East 13th. The wind was just stiff enough to be a factor. I should have gone to Bay Parkway. I couldn't blame people for not being enticed. Only a few stopped to take a look. It was my first goose egg in a long time.
