Movie - Trouble with the Curve (2012) [/] High powered lawyer Mickey (Amy Adams) has to help her baseball scout father Gus (Clint Eastwood) who's failing eyesight threatens his job. They're not on the best terms but time together helps Mickey regain her love of baseball and kindle a romance with rival scout Johnny Flanagan (Justin Timberlake)... Rewatched this after a decade and it's still a pleasant film and a nice behind the scenes baseball movie.

Tillamook Waffle Cone Swirl Ice Cream [/] Chocolate one one side, vanilla with caramel swirls on the other side. I'm not a fan of chocolate ice cream but the vanilla side is pretty good. Not one of their better flavors though.

Book - The Spanish War: An American Epic 1898 (1984) [-] I only got through the first 60-odd pages of GJA O'Toole's book about the Spanish-American War. The short chapter one started off well, sort of disaster movie style introducing characters and what they were doing in a sleepy morning in Havana when suddenly USS Maine exploded. Then the second chapter goes back a couple of decades covering Cuban history and the recent rebellions. I didn't particularly like the writing style. Too much introducing characters and too much peripheral stuff and politics. Feels like the rest of the book will be more about the people than the war and that's not really interesting to me.
