SHREVEPORT – As an avid and constant reader, I decided to do the Reading Challenge on Goodreads again this year; last year I set the lofty goal of 100 books and missed the mark with 63 out of 100 books.
This year, because of the pandemic, probably, I did better. I set a lower goal of 75 books and so far I’ve read 82. I’ll probably be at 83 by the end of the year.
Currently I am reading
Wuhan Diary by Fang Fang, which is the collected dispatches, or posts, from the renown Chinese author during the 76 days of the Wuhan lockdown. While most of us are tired of Covid, tired of reading about Covid, and tired of all things Covid, I am enjoying the book.
Expectations Revisited Patriots Sans Brady:
In Yesterday’s post I measured, with one game left in the NFL season Brady vs the expectations game to this point, now let’s look at the Patriots:
As I wrote at the time the Patriots pre-Brady:
Had a winning record 55% of the time
won 11 or more game (10 in a 14 game season) 14.6% of the time
won their division 12% of the time
made the playoffs 24% of the time
won a playoff game 9.7% of the time
went to a championship game 7% of the time winning 0%
While the Patriots with Brady:
Had a winning record 100% of the time
