Ted Williams had great aim off the field
An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: On Saturday mornings as a boy, Ted [Williams] and one of his best friends, Joe Villarino, would hike up into the hills outside of San Diego and go rabbit hunting, swim and look for Huck Finn-like adventure. “One day,” Villarino remembers, “we was walking around this trail and a rattlesnake come out and Ted shot it with a .45 he had. We laid it aside, and when we came back, he wrapped him around his neck and shoulders and carried it home. Another time, at Dobie’s Pond, there was a kid in trouble. He was about eight or nine. We was about fourteen or fifteen. The kid was kinda splashing around. Ted went in and got him. He didn’t make a big deal of it. He didn’t like to be in the limelight too much.”

very sad, indeed.
Sad bros.
Two of my favorite people. @BillBrettBoston and #DavidMcCullough, the pride of Pittsburgh, at reading and signing for his #WrightBrothers book. Also in the audience is David's wife Rosalee and a few of their children. @harvardbookstore on location
things can work out…books are not dead…well, they are dead trees, but not dead as a business.
Was looking through @BillBrettBoston's #photos and spotted this couple @tonyamezrich and @benmezrich they really need to get our more often... W/ @MFABoston #BillBrettBoston

Still time to catch @menageriebwy before it closes and is just a 'memory' #TheGlassMenagerie on Broadway.
Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
