So I’ve done this with other books, but it’s been a while and “The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson,” is dropping next week. Soooo … basically, I’m gonna post some Bo Jackson trivia here. E-mail your answers to pearlmanj22@gmail.com. The people with the most correct
So as most of the modernized world knows by now, Pickleball is a thing. But not merely a thing. A thang. Your mom is playing it. My mom is playing it. Your mom’s mom is playing it. My mom’s mom is … eh, dead. But were Marta Herz not dead,
