Mental Burps

I’m not sure what would be more frightening – – a huge asteroid headed for a crash landing on earth or the prospect of a Trump re-election in November?

Looks like Sports Illustrated is going out of business. It was the premier sports magazine in my youth and early adult life. The swimsuit issue normally published in the beginning of the year always generated some controversy and interest. And there were some great sports writing and photography in the magazine.

I used to love to buy magazines like Playboy, US News and World Report, Tennis, Money, Runners World, Men’s Health etc. I can’t remember the last time I went into a bookstore to buy a magazine. I can’t remember the last time I went into a bookstore to look at magazines.

John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster and Sam Houston were cited as Profiles in Courage in the book by John F. Kennedy. Tim Scott, the senator from South Carolina, will never be cited for his courage. How low must the performance, moral and integrity bars for Senator Scott to endorse Donald Trump?

One past regret in my life: that I did not take measured risks in my early adult years.
