The Replacements (2000): Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman, Brooke Langton, Orlando Jones - PopMatters Film Review
Yeah it is stupid and no one cares, but I have watched it at least 5 times and have loved it every time. Many funny parts (I just watched it muted and still laughed out loud many times) and a "feel good movie". If you haven't seen it, make a point to do so. It is on TV virtually every month.

How many times have you asked yourself teh same thing? The view set forth by the Marginal Revolution and German historian von Gotz Aly suggests it was not only fear, but also because Hitler kept people at home well fed and lowered taxes.

Lou Gehrig
The Sports Economist The Sports Economist (and the WSJ) provide a fascinating look at Lou Gehrig. I just ordered the unabridged CD of The Luckiest Man to risten to...He sounds too fascinating to not know more about.

I have uploaded quite a few new pictures...I held off uploading pictures of Nermie (19 year old cat who died on Good Friday). It was too soon.
Spring is Much better than winter. Even 40 degrees seems warm.
I am getting zero done today. Not sure why. I really tried this AM. Then computer problems and poor organization cut into things.
I am still ristening to Franklin and Winston. IT is VERY good. I had not expected it to be as good as it is. 102 minutes is next. Yellow Jammer Rammer Hammer was also very good. Defnitely recommended even if it is about Alabama Football.
BTW if you have not used the word ristening in conversation, please do so ! ;)
I have done so poorly in NCAA basketball pools as to be not worth mentioning. I have one of the final four. Oh well.
I hope I do not have too high of expectations for the Mets. My prediction: 88-92 wins.
I wish the Bills had a frist round pick. The off season has been a real dud so far.
Short of expenses and transaction costs, how can someone do very poorly in investing. Markets are pretty efficient, so that means it is as hard to do poorly as it is to do well....Ordered about $400 worth of gardening things yesterday. Mainly trees. Many new apple, pear, and peach trees. Digging holes is next.

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster, November 1940
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster, November 1940
Growing up our neighbor was Dr. Budzinski who teaches physics. He showed us this footage many times. It still is pretty cool to see. Scary, but interesting. The same principle scared me almost to death as I was coming down a major hill on my bicycle at about 45-50 MPH and the back of the bike started oscillating. Terrifying!
