Play Wicket Cricket Manager My sports media course Heath Streak bowled with a front on chest. That often meant you could see the great Zimbabwean bird facing you as he bowled. There was a lot of the eagle to see because not only was he bowling front on, but he was a broad guy. Streak looked like a farmer or rugby player who accidentally picked up cricket. A solid athletic man who tried incredibly hard.

Hello Lovelies! I have been MIA and for that I am very sorry. I do have a good excuse though. I have been working on editing Season 4 Episode one: HEKA! If I may say so myself, the film is truly exceptional, showcasing numerous luminaries in the field. Though I intentionally scratch only the surface, I believe it serves as a fantastic introduction to a topic that, unfortunately, has largely been dismissed and undervalued.

“Hell is–other people.” ~ From the play No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre (1944) “Some things are in our control and others not.” ~ Discourses by Epictetus (circa 108AD)  “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” ~ John Lydgate of Bury (later adapted by President Abraham Lincoln)

It all started with an offer to interview YOSHIKI. “YOSHIKI To Perform U.S. National Anthem at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 16, for ‘Hello Kitty Night,’ Before the Dodgers vs. Nationals Baseball Game,” went the PR blast that landed in my inbox. I immediately became intrigued — here was a wonderful triangulation of my interests (music, baseball, mascots) serving as yet another example of Japanese pop culture blossoming around the world.

Hey Friends! This weeks essay is a free read and I hope you enjoy it. An exploration into identity and how loyal we become to “This is who I am”. Then, how that loyalty can cock-block a wave of newness, expansion and thriving, while having us eventually - become bored of ourselves. Would love for you to share in the comments if you have something to say or offer!

Of all the appliances in our kitchen, we use our electric kettle the most. We fill it up and hit that lever probably a dozen times a day; probably more on the weekend - hey, it takes a lot of hot water to fuel that #tealife. So when our kettle bit the dust last week, I immediately sprang into action to find a new one - preferably one a bit bigger than our old one, and maybe - just maybe - sporting a few extra features.

Around 1am on Friday, March 1st, 2024, a fire began at Estate of Mind, in the historic Oakhurst Manor in Whitinsville, MA. As firefighting efforts began and the flames receded, it seemed promising that it would be contained and extinguished with minimal damage, and we made the decision and announcement to cancel our large event the next day. Over the next 6 hours, residents watched in horror as the fire continued to re-ignite, growing to consume the entire attic, most of the third floor, and parts of the second.

Friends, Henry Kissinger has died, at the age of 100. When a former high government official as well known as Kissinger passes, the conventional response is to say nice things about what they accomplished. I’m sorry, but I cannot. In my humble opinion, Kissinger should have been considered a war criminal. ncG1vNJzZmiqn5eys8DRnqCcoF6owqO%2F05qapGaTpLpwvI6hnKeqqWK4qr%2FSoqWgnaJifnp%2BkmZpaWpjZLCwucyepa2r

By Kelly Dwyer In the fall of 1981 in San Pedro, California, I led a double life. By day, I was the senior class co-president, well liked and respected by my peers and teachers, if not Homecoming court-popular.
