Ray Kinsella: “Fifty years ago, for five minutes you came within... y-you came this close. It would kill some men to get so close to their dream and not touch it. God, they'd consider it a tragedy”. Dr. Graham: “Son, if I'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes... now that would have been a tragedy”. From the movie Field of Dreams The White Sox and Yankees will take part in the 2021 Field of Dreams Game in Iowa today.

At the beginning of Into the Spider-Verse, the first film in the trilogy, Miles Morales claims a life of “no expectations” with his spray painted mural, but he can’t avoid the expectations thrust on him—by his parents who sent him to an academically advanced prep school and by a dying Peter Parker who tasked him with dangerous mission. ncG1vNJzZmivkaexs7vBnpuop6JjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89omJyqn6jAbsDHnmSsqJmZsrN51Z6prJ1dlnq0vMScq5qbpaGusw%3D%3D

The story below by Kate Oczypok is about a food corporation getting its greasy fingers into the school system, but it doesn’t offend me. However, the fact that Lunchables are now being offered as the official school lunch to millions of U.S. students really makes me wild with rage. I suppose the difference is that “read some books, have a treat,” is a different message than “here’s your box of sodium, it’s this or nothing.

The Assistant is streaming on Max and Hulu. Grade: B (Fine acting, Slow moving, Methodical Attention to Detail, Shines a light on an understated profession, Gender and power dynamic themes) When Ozark alum Julia Garner (Jane) walks into a scene in The Assistant, you submit fully to her character, watching her every move and wondering when the tension will reach its breaking point. She’s arresting. At first glance, she’s demure and has an air of someone hyper vigilant and much older than her years.

Hey, I hope you’re doing okay. As these letters near the 1-year anniversary, I’m constantly thinking about how to improve them. There a quite a number of things I could write about: Business, Venture capital, Strategy etc. However, I feel there’s a lot of content out there about those topics. But I often find that I don’t know enough about myself and the world I live in and that feels a lot more exciting to write about.

Meet Brian Thornton. Over the course of his adult life, Brian Thornton has held many jobs as well as attempting to start many different business ventures.  The common theme throughout all of them is scamming people. Those scams include: Not paying employees and claiming they were contract workers (Thornton Family Barbershop) Starting a snow removal business and collecting money for services not rendered (Fort Wayne Snow Removal) Claiming to have written a Salesforce book, then selling the fictitious book on Amazon, but never shipping any copies to those who purchased it.

Thirty-one games played across all competitions. Twenty-six victories, three draws, two defeats. Real Madrid have a fight on their hands at the top of LaLiga, with surprise title rivals Girona surely the story of the season, but Los Blancos have largely been excellent in 2023-24. Carlo Ancelotti has made light work of serious injuries to Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Eder Militao to keep things ticking over nicely at the Santiago Bernabeu, and Madrid will certainly back themselves to add to last month's Supercopa de Espana success before the end of the campaign.

Smith’s on Maryland + SaharaPretty much everyone in my neighborhood despises our local Smith’s. Smith’s is a supermarket chain owned by Kroger. They also own Safeway and Ralph’s and are currently attempting to buy the Albertson’s chain in a controversial merger. There are a lot of Smith’s in Las Vegas. But this one on Maryland Parkway, near our Downtown Vegas home, is a lightning rod for all the things happening in our community.
