Friday Follies, New Year Edition
I hang out a lot with other writers, and in that company the fact that I've written a few books is not particularly noteworthy. But this past week, two "regular people" (a co-worker and my personal trainer's wife) both became aware of my writing habit. They both then expressed surprise, thought it was a big deal, and in one case promised to Buy My Books. (Thanks!)
In order to ease into the new year, herewith are a few links of interest:
1) Heart attack, cardiac arrest, and heart failure are often used interchangeably, but they’re distinct entities.
2) This article based on a book argues that blacks became concentrated in urban areas due to white action in the form of "sundown towns." (Blacks passing through had to be out by sundown.) Although this obviously happened, I also suspect there was a lot of assimilation. There are many Americans who claim "Indian" blood, but that was really "black" blood.
3) Max Gladstone liked Rogue One, but thought it could be better.
4) This Giant Furry Dog Playing With A Kid Will Make Your Day.
