The sports thing is something that is a REAL drain. Especially someone like me who tends toward WAY too much enthusiasm and emotional investment. I see it also in the way city governments play up big the “responsibility” of giving local economies a “shot in the arm” by investing obscene amounts of money in new stadiums, while things such as education and healthcare teeter on the precipe of collapse. But entertainment rules the roost, and the “dollars to be had” inpires activity which seems to outpace equal enthusiasm for education, health, etc. And it seems that each time, the promises are “the resulting economic benefit will be a win for ALL sectors of the economy”, and each time, those “other” sectors such as education and health , etc. continue to struggle.

Anyway, I see all this and I see my own personal investment in sports and I also am moving toward “more reading”, less SportsCenter, and less UK basketball, Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Reds (even though it has been much easier since the latter two of those three suck of late)

D and I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Not a great "date" movie but it was worth the steep art-house price of $10.50.<br/><br/>Much love, KT<br/><br/>P.S. Watching the Broncos play IS brain drain. Great movie. D and I saw it a couple of weeks ago. Not a great “date” movie but it was worth the steep art-house price of $10.50.

Much love, KT
