I LOVE finding enjoyable reads at the library. Well, really, the librarians PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED this gem and I’m all over it. Funny, interesting, well structured. If you liked the TV show ”The Prisoner,” or if you ever thought, “You know, for the betterment of all mankind, that person should shuffle off to Buffalo,” (no insult to Buffalo, I’m offering a euphemism here) then read this book. #BookRecommendation #MurderYourEmployer #McMastersGuideToHomicide #RupertHolmes

This morning’s driving-to-work-holy-crap-I-haven’t-heard-this-song-in-an-eon-or-two is a bizarre ditty from 1971 about how two fellows survived a mine cave in.
It was written by “Piña Colada Song” composer Rupert Holmes and while some radio stations sought to ban it, it was a Top 20 US hit and Top 10 in Canada.

The Piña Colada Song #RupertHolmes

"If you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like makin' love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for"

Wednesday #Music:

From the 1979 album that gave him all of his solo top 40 hits, Rupert Holmes sings about new tech and the personal aggravations that come with it.

It's a nice smooth tune, but I still like "Timothy" better.
