![]() ![]() ![]() It wasn't worth the paycheck.It was not until he was forty that an insightful therapist told him he had the form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. But the higher Robison rose in the company, the more he had to pretend to be "normal" and do what he simply couldn't: communicate. Later, he drifted into a "real" job, as an engineer for a major toy company. It was no wonder he gravitated to machines, which could, at least, be counted on.After fleeing his parents and dropping out of high school, his savant-like ability to visualize electronic circuits landed him a gig with KISS, for whom he created their legendary fire-breathing guitars. ![]() Ever since he was small, John Robison had longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits-an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother in them)-had earned him the label "social deviant." No guidance came from his mother, who conversed with light fixtures, or his father, who spent evenings pickling himself in sherry. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their initial hesitancy to get attached, and their growing, separate relationships with the dog, whom they call Buddy, also ring true.

The two have a very strong bond and are talented Canine Freestyle dancers. ![]() The human characters are real, too.ĭuring a cross-country drive, Mack gets separated from Justine, his person. The dog, Mack / Buddy, is a Sheltie with a strong personality and viewpoint all his own. A book called The Dog That Danced might have languished, unread, on the shelf. ![]() I am usually skeptical of books where the author speaks in the dog’s voice, but from its title, The Dog Who Danced, by Susan Wilson already had points in its favor. ![]() ![]() A celebration of life will be held this summer 2023 in Oceanside, CA.

![]() ![]() ![]() Is SAS: Rogue Heroes based on a true story? In the series he brings together what’s he describes as a “band of oddities, gentlemen and pirates”, and we follow this group of flawed but heroic young men as they do everything they can to help win the war. Stirling’s unorthodox scheme risks upsetting top brass but, undaunted, he fights to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers to join his unit. “I have an idea that might move the war in our favour.” His plan is to create a new kind of undercover parachute regiment, one that can drop behind enemy lines in the north Africa campaign. “The Germans keep advancing while we fold our arms,” Stirling proclaims in one of the trailers for SAS: Rogue Heroes. ![]() At the centre of the story is David Stirling (Connor Swindells), an eccentric young military officer who becomes convinced that traditional commando units don’t work while hospitalised in Cairo in 1941.

I would've voted Len, too. (you get what I'm saying) but it ISNT about that. ![]() A lot of people have the concept that feminism is about hating on men, women being "superior". There was a time in my life when I didn't consider myself a feminist because I had the wrong idea of it. Let's start with everything I didn't like :) it had the power to be *chef's kiss* but it was a huge letdown. This book had such a good premise, the rep, the feminism, the rivals to lovers. I think this is my most controversial review up to date so proceed with caution. THIS is what feminism is, not what the main character was trying to do. It’s all about all of us working toward equality, together.” “Because feminism, contrary to popular belief, isn’t about hating on guys like me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Alfonso's brother, Juan, comes to pick them up.
