With all of the craziness that has come along with the massive amount of damage to the house:
- fallen chimneys
- broken joists
- roof raised
I still have an insurance company dragging its feet about allowing the work to begin.
Frankly, I need some cheering. I asked my Facebook friends if they had suggestions for topics I could write about. One of my readers, a dear cousin, suggested that I write about some book I am reading. I have five books that I am in the midst of, and all are unique.
Today I would like to tell you about a Pulitzer Prize Winner, Syndicated columnist in 400 newspapers world wide. Charles Krauthammer, and the book that he wrote. The title is Things That Matter. His subtitle reads Three decades of passions, pastimes, and politics.
The book came out in 2013, but in many ways, it is as relevant now as it was then. Check out these chapter titles to get an idea about the scope of his articles are grouped in chapters.
Part 1: Personal
Chapter 1: The Good and the Great
Chapter 2: Manners
Chapter 3: Pride and Prejudices
Chapter 4: Follies
Chapter 5: Passions and Pastimes
Chapter 6: Heaven and Earth
Part 2: Political
Chapter 7: Citizen and State
Chapter 8: Conundrums
Chapter 9: Body and Soul
Chapter 10: Man and God
Chapter 11: Memory and Monuments
Chapter 12: The Jewish Question, Again
Chapter 13: The Golden Age
Chapter 14: The Age of Holy Terror
Chapter 15: The Age to Come
Chapter 16: Three Essays on America and the World
Sounds very interesting, thanks!
I hope your insurance company gets their act together!

Thanks, it is a great book. As to your last comment — I hope that they get their act together too!
I guess insurance is dragging because they’re trying to figure out if you were driving your house while under the influence! Insurance is always like that, unfortunately. They’ll eventually figure out that storm damage is not intentional! Hugs!!
Thanks, Kath! At least writing blog posts and concentrating on other things helps my mental health while the insurance folks drag their feet!
