Where is RFK Jr. when you need him?

Congratulations to the Phillies.  They earned it.

Pangram was pure random luck.

For the record, although the Pangram is awkward, I was referring to a different awkwardly spelled word.

I think I just found that different awkwardly spelled word...and it's the one that just got me to QB :bz

Been struggling for the past few days, but got it today.  :bz

I was thinking of giving the bank coin to the Maplewood Historical Society.

Also, MBF, besides being a faithful adaptation of the books, ranked as the #1 book of the 21st century (NYT list as voted on by other notable authors).  I have heard that the translator's talent has much to do with the writer's success in English translation. 

Coincidentally, Ann Goldstein, the translator of Elena Ferrante's novels will be receiving the Maplewood Literary Award at the Woodland tonight. How cool is that?
