A friend and I were discussing this. We both try to stay healthy
by eating well (high fiber, low fat, lots of veggies, fruit,
etc.) and living an active enough lifestyle (hiking, rock
climbing, biking, etc.) that we stay in shape. The question we
have, then, is what the current "rules" are for
appropriate weight/height ratios? Or are such measurements now
thrown out in favor of body fat percentage measurements? She's
5'1" and I'm 6'1" and we're curious what the medical
rule of thumb would be for how much each of us "should"
weigh...mostly because we're wondering if it takes into account
things like muscle mass. What would the current medical/health
industry recommend each of us weigh? Are these numbers accepted
or are they seen as not as important as they might have been 20
years ago. If you have actual numbers, we'd be curious to see
that too. Thanks! I have a dinner riding on this!

This book is about the making of the writer William Faulkner. It
is the first to inquire into the three most important women in
his life-his black and white mothers, Caroline Barr and Maud
Falkner, and the childhood friend who became his wife, Estelle
Oldham. In this new exploration of Faulkner’s creative process,
Judith L. Sensibar discovers that these women’s relationships
with Faulkner were not simply close; they gave life to his
imagination. Sensibar brings to the foreground-as Faulkner
did-this “female world,” an approach unprecedented in
Faulkner biography. Through extensive research in untapped
biographical sources-
archival materials and interviews with these women's families and
other members of the communities in which they lived-Sensibar
transcends existing scholarship and reconnects Faulkner’s
biography to his work. She demonstrates how the themes of race,
tormented love, and addiction that permeated his fiction had
their origins in his three defining relationships with women.

Roger (Taran Killam), a straight-laced politician has big plans
to propose to his dream girl (Gillian Jacobs) at her family's
lake house. But everything goes awry when he meets his potential
brother-in-law Todd (Bobby Moynihan): a full-time camp counselor
with a heart of gold and a wild sense of fun, pining to be
Roger's best friend, and ultimately catapulting him into a series
of unfortunate events. As Roger tries to take a stand amidst
outrageous fishing excursions, propulsive water jetpacks and
American history-themed musicals, he realizes that being a part
of a new family may be more difficult than he'd thought.
