Another Post blurb reports Census Bureau findings. In 2017 there were 86,248 Americans above the age of 100. 68,354 were women. I wonder if the men were bachelors.
From Yahoo Sports, in my own words: Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is unique in uncommon ways besides being a pro athlete. Born in Quebec, he played college ball at McGill University, located in his home town. Drafted in the sixth round in 2014, he has started 31 games. The past few years he took medical school classes in the off-season. Now that he has graduated, he requested that M.D. be added to his name on his jersey. League officials said no, shocking given all that players get away with these days during games.
My thanks to the gentleman who bought six books in Russian despite his huffing that there was too much fantasy in the inventory; and to the young man who bought two DVDs and a huge dictionary; and to Neil, one of the brains behind Dellapeppo Village, broadcast on a Cablevision public access channel, who pounced on a Fellini bio. I hope it will give him ideas for the show, which he creates with his brother. Each day they engage in verbal duels on Facebook, Neil pro-Trump, Rocco anti. It gets as vicious as what others post there. Special thanks to Bill Brown, author of Words and Guitar: A History of Lou Reed's Music, and other works of non-fiction. He showed up as I was breaking down the display and helped me get the stuff into the old Hyundai as the rain gradually increased in intensity. Gazing at the sky, I'd decided to finish early. I attended to my own books first, of course. We jammed the rest into the trunk and back seat willy-nilly. I'll worry about it tomorrow. Fortunately, I scored the most favorable parking spot at my regular nook, so the shop's good to go until after Thursday's session.
