The Creation of Bull Durham

By -
I found a book to listen to. Ron Shelton, the creator and director of Bull Durham, wrote The Church of Baseball. It gives the story of how this great movie was created. I only wish I was older at that time. They shot the film an hour away from my house. Mitch's Tavern was in our city of Raleigh. It was across from NC State. I was still in high school. It has been an interesting listen. Check your local library. I love to watch/read/listen to stories about the behind the scenes of a movie. I think this is the first time actually hearing the writer read his own work. If you have not scene this movie, check it out. It was a great movie.

Crazy Chickens

 I'm sitting in my office at home.  All I can hear is the sound of chickens squawking. I think they are trying to encourage me to feed them.  I know when I go out, it will be like Ace Ventura and the animals flocking to him.  I do know they will squawk before laying an egg.  The roosters are non-stop with their calls!

The Long Walk

By -
 I took my daughters to see The Long Walk .  I read this stroy when I was a teen.  It did not disappoint.  The guys who Star in this movie did a really good job.  It is not the feel good movie of the year .  It does make you feel for everyone who dies.  If you get emotional, it will cause tears.

I Feel Lost

By -
 This week, my phone died.  I could not believe it.  I was looking on it and it goes black.  I have my wife look at it.  She gets it to come back to life and updates it to the Icloud.  I start looking at it again.  Then, it dies again.  This time it is for good.  She called TMobile.  They wanted me to enter passwords.  I could not remember them.  They were on the phone.  Eventually, I used my Ipod to access something.  Because it was under a plan we have, I am able to get a new phone.  Only catch is is that it is the same model, Iphone 11.  If I wanted the newest phone, I would have to pay $300.  I went with the same model.  Now I just need to get it.  I find myself lost without my phone.
