Two Things

1.) For fans of Stephen King (Like Me!!!), Scribner announced details about his next novel. To quote Charlie Sheen... WINNING!

Scribner will release Stephen King’s next novel November 8. The publisher calls 11/22/63 “ a 1,000-page tour de force” that “richly imagines a present day high school teacher, Jake Epping who travels back in time to try and prevent the JFK assassination.”

Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk.

Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

2.) There are too many cameras on the planet... they catch everything. For example, someone filmed my very first attempt at bobsledding. How embarassing!
