At the beginning of the year I moved home and broke the routine, thankfully although inadvertently. I now am...

    Has anyone seen "The Covenant"?

    If so, what did you think? I am a huge Guy Ritchie fan and this film was completely out of character for him. I liked it, although there was a little bit too much "shootem' up" for my taste. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4873118/

    Selling of NILs, college athletics, SA athletics

    Thoughts? I have many and most of them are not good. Mostly interested in how SA’s will handle it. Forbid? Allow? Try to partake of a few crumbs on the table?

    https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/05/24/russian-major-general-shot-down-over-ukraine-bbc-russian-a77788 I read this article and it got me thinking about Maverick. He and the General are about the same age. I was particularly struck by this statistic: At least 31 Russian pilots have been...
