  • You Truly are Just Plain Awesome!0

    When Jim Webb asked me if I would write for the Weekly, I said no. I’m not a public person. I tend to be shy, and I prefer flying under the radar. Writing for Webb would put my thoughts in the public square and open them to misinterpretation and uninvited criticism. I just didn’t want

    The Bookworm Sez: “Shake It Up, Baby: The Rise of Beatlemania and the Mayhem of 1963” by Ken McNab0

    It was like squashing a cockroach, they said. Put your toe down in one spot, rotate your hips and your ankle, shimmy them shoulders, and snap your fingers to the beat. That’s how you kill a bug, and it’s how you do The Twist — but beware. In the new book “Shake It Up, Baby”

Kenzy came running inside, all excited. “Mommmmmmaaaaa!! Look what I found!” she exclaimed. She had this
