The last trailer for The Hail Mary Project! March 20th.
I read, and loved the book. Maybe about 2 yrs before they announced it was gojng to be made into a movie.
A few fun football memories....
While football is far from my favorite sport...as someone who did play some sports (volleyball, a little softball, some tennis, badminton) I could/can appreciate a great play in any sport.
● I used to enjoy Warner Wolf's play of the day/week including football.
● When growing up (60 yrs ago) if a particular one of my uncle's was here at our home on Army vs Navy day - I think we had 2 modest TV's; I could hear my dad yelling for Navy!; while my uncle in the other room w TV was yelling for Army!
● I tried to find this on line using all kinds of wording with no luck...
There was imho a hilarious front page illustration from the NY Times (Sunday?) Sports Section; had to be mid-00's (possibly 2005?).
In the very bottom left corner was the kicker in kicking action.
At the the very top right corner was the football (having -been- kicked) covering slightly a bit of the headline.
The headline was something like
They Play A Game?"
the full illustration had the gridiron, then a whole bunch of half-time performers; including Paul McCartney on a grand piano(!) which was in 2005.
I think the article was about how the Pre-game show had gotten longer, and longer.
Anyway, I thought it was a very clever, funny page layout, and illustration.
Thank you for hearts!

New, on line, fun artist participation site...
Just started this year by one person called Doodl.
Basically every day she gives a "art subject prompt".
A person has 24 hrs in their respective time zone to create a piece in any medium; traditional, digital, or mixed, and upload it.
Prompts are real-based to fanciful.
Most recent: mittens, a favorite morning drink, a favorite sunset, an iguana in a sweater, and to be the latest- a city in the sky.
I have till 11:59PM to upload - haven't done the mittens yet.
You can write something about your piece if you want. All the pieces can be seen, there is a "keep doodl private" option.
Posting this, will return w a few of mine.
All digital so far, but want to do physical materials soon.
Be back soon.
🤔 Seems like they changed their hosting procedures. Will have figure it out later. Diner calls! 🍽
7:30P ETA: for some bleeping reason I can't seem to link the uploaded images on postimage to here after trying several times.[
They've changed the ? link choices. I don't see link to options like I did for several years now as before.
😑😑😑
I give up for now.
Nutz for Nuts. Your favorites, or w other items.
Good ole peanut butter smooth or crunchy on toast, peanuts alone regular, or salted.
Pistachios!!
Macadamias!!
Walnuts, or almonds as part of granola.
Trader Joe's chocolate covered almonds! Yum!
Dark chocolate bark with almonds, hazelnuts & pistachios by a particular chocolatier.
Didn't have Nutella till a few years ago. Tasty!
Chocolate chip cookies w walnuts.
I think in India cooking- kormas (chicken, lamb, vegetarian) the sauce is ?cashew based. Soooo good ! Almonds may be in the biryanis, too.
Sure I'm missing something.
