The sodfather; a warm day; a blood test; blurbs
Man ends 80-year career when bureaucrats tick him off (USA Today).

Wednesday: so warm, so dry, I let Samuel and Daniel have the run of the back yard. In shorts. We had a lovely time.
As of this afternoon, there’s snow-slush everywhere.

These are the best blurbs I’ve seen upon one dust jacket.
