The Stand (2020 CBS version)

[*bfine32*]

Coming up when I did in the military the only way you had to pass time by yourself was to read. I was a Stephen King fanatic. There's a short that references a little league baseball game (no idea the name), but a member of my squad from Maine said SK referenced his little league team. His name was Philbrick and was mentioned. I did read the story and saw the name but cannot remember.

Another member of my squad was from Salem Mass. and born on 31 OCT.

As to the books: I was in Desert Storm and reading It. Walking from my post one dark night I heard a noise in the distant desert. I definitely picked up my pace as I headed for my tent. Never crossed my mind that it might be insurgents, just that damn clown.
