An Interesting Time is Ahead

This is going to be an interesting time around here as the Cleveland Indians are going to the World Series, as are the Chicago Cubs. These just happen to be my mother's two favorite teams, so it is not going to be the most pleasant time for her. Me, I want to see the Indians win, but so long as they are good games, I'll be happy.
Oh, one quick thing, I'd love to see Bill Murray and Tom Hanks sharing a suite for even one of the games. Just think it could be a fun experience.

Remember, Relax

Today's Packers game was not easy to watch. Oh there were some very good moments (Go Eddie!)  but a lot of poorer ones; poorer than we are used to. While it can be hard to remember in the moment, but it is important to relax and admit things are not going well. Just keep doing what you can as best as you can, and move forward. It is not easy, but it is the best thing to do. Trust me, just doing your best and moving forward is the best thing to do in in more situations than a football game too. The hard part can be remembering to do that, and getting those around you to remember this plan as well.

Finally Saw A Not-So-Good Movie

Today I finally watched the X-Men: Apocalypse movie. I had seen and heard many opinions about how it was not a good film, and definitely agree. Disjointed stories that made it feel like it was almost a Madlib of plots, uninteresting development for characters that deserved better, and a villain that had severe story-serving power fluctuations. (I can kill a foundry full of people with a glance, but those meddling kids thwarted my plans!)
Anyway, I'm back to focusing on the Packers game.

Boring-Old Me Again

I really don't have anything to talk about this week. Nothing interesting going on and no ideas I feel like sharing. The best I can do is recommend reading The Password is Courage. I first encountered the story as a movie, by the same name, then I looked it up, found it is a true story and from a book. It's the story of a British Sergeant-Major POW in WWII who did some pretty interesting stuff. On one of his escape attempts he was awarded the Iron Cross (a German award) and a lot more that I haven't gotten to yet in the book. Seriously, look the story up, it is pretty amazing and gives a new context to something like the show Hogan's Heroes.
