Hold on to Coco...

It does seem that the Coco deal is off. For now. It does seem that the failed Mota physical is the stumbling. If Coco is NOT traded, it would make many of the other deals in the works less useful to the club- say, Michaels for Rhodes. Alas. The addition of the Reds to the mix...well, I know four-club deals can work. But it does add some unnecessary complexity.

Am progressing quite nicely on the next book on the list, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Rhodes. It's quite a good read, and the science is complex but not incomprehensible. The first half is a review of every advance of atomic science in the first half of the 20th century, and it is quite engrossing. I do need to read more, and we are hitting the books with a vengeance.
