    RIP Bill Buckner

    RIP Mr. Buckner. True baseball fans know that you were not the reason the Red Sox did not win the WS in 1986. You did not deserve the fan backlash. A truly great player and person. You will be missed.

    Cobra Kai

    Anyone watching the Cobra Kai series on YouTube? It picks up the story of Johnny Lawrence, the head Cobra Kai punk, from the first Karate Kid movie 34 years later. It's pretty entertaining. It manages to make you feel bad for Mr. Lawrence and shows what can happen if one never lets go of past...
