Faron Young – Sweet Dreams
An evening pause: From a 1956 television show, with all the cheesiness that goes with it.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

My pause now is women’s curling championship. That’s a sport of my liking. Not climbing caves or hunting balls or pucks or in anyway breaking a sweat. Even if a curler breaks a sweat, because of the excitement(?), there’s ice around to cool it off. It’s meditative and even sedative to watch. This has to have been invented in Scotland, there’s no other possible explanation.
Sweden-USA, and they started the game by playing the German national anthem! Deutschland Deutschland über alles (und unter See). The players didn’t react, I suppose they don’t know the difference.
What about Elvis Presley? I don’t hear much of him anymore. You can’t keep on posting historical music videos and keep omitting the king.
How does one make a suggestion for an evening pause, I think I have one that is interesting.
