Mark Opalski is 80% done with First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human
This book is incredibly fascinating. I particularly enjoy the research on the evolution of our bones and the bones of other species. Through this research, along with a few other intriguing perspectives, the author provides a profound understanding of our origins and the factors that distinguish us from other species, both similar and different.

A page turner. I hope it ends as strong as it’s starting. Im not sure based on the stars it’s gotten.

Mark Opalski is starting There Will Be Fire: Margaret Thatcher, the IRA, and Two Minutes That Changed History
I had to stop to look up the speech Thatcher gave a few hours after the attempt on her life. Just incredible show of toughness. Respect.

Mark Opalski is starting Four Shots in the Night: A True Story of Spies, Murder, and Justice in Northern Ireland
Note: great read so far… An in depth look at both sides of the conflict called “the troubles” in Northern Ireland (1969-1998). The details give great context as well as how things have heated up in today’s post BREXIT world.

Newark’s declined. The Swede, who took over the family business, was forced to relocate his family glove manufacturing business. He had factories in Ponce and Aguadilla Puerto Rico.
