#21: Read four non-fiction books

Can’t believe I missed this one. Jim Bouton’s 1969 baseball diary. Favorite baseball book next to Men at Work. And the guy created my favorite childhood gum, Big League Chew.

National Dog Day didn’t go Hemingway’s way as it started with a trip to the vet and ended with a surgery date to remove three more mast cell tumors. In addition, he was diagnosed with a heart murmur signaling the beginning of heart disease. Despite an earlier pledge to stop fighting, the last surgery gave us a happy and active fifteen months,so we’re giving it another shot.

Improptu tourist day.
