Thor, fair point. I started paying real attention in 1980 with the Islanders. That generation was a bigger breed than the players of the 50's and 60's. 5/26/2014 11:38:57 am

I saw the movie, “The Other Final”, on the plane coming home. It is about two Dutch fans who were disappointed that their country's football team failed to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. They decided to organize a match between the two lowest FIFA-ranking teams-Bhutan and Monserrat.

Alan, that is brilliant. While I was enjoying myself in Tokyo, this was happening elsewhere. I never knew. Thanks, GV Comments are closed.

“I don’t think people understand how Covid affects older Americans,” Mr. Caretti said with frustration. “In 2020, there was this all-in-this-together vibe, and it’s been annihilated. People just need to care about other people, man. That’s my soapbox.” ---Vic Caretti, 47, whose father recently died of Covid at 85. ---From an article by Paula Span, who covers old age for the NYT, which currently has 2646 comments, the majority criticizing the American public – and public officials – for acting as if the pandemic is “over.” Classic wishful thinking, at a lethal level.
