7/23/2013 A royal birth
Princess Kate has delivered a royal baby, a boy, who will be third in line for the throne. The news has shoved politics and the Zimmerman debacle out of the central focus. There is a kind of poetic justice to this phenom--a new birth, royal or not, is always uplifting, a promising future, an ace in the hole. The dream still lives as Senator Kennedy like to say when things took a bad turn in society's progress. A new baby is a new hope, a new horizon of possible enlightenment.
In contrast, Ryan Brunn has canceled his ticket to the Hall of Fame by confessing to be a bald-face liar about taking PEDs. His dream, through his own shortcomings, has crashed in the desert of his deceptions. The statement he released yesterday was probably written by his agent or a PR man. All the caught players say the same thing. His feet are not made of clay, just sand blowing in the wind. It is going to be very difficult for him to recoup his career after such poor behavior. Still, he went home with $5 million in the bank from this year.

Welcome to my blog. I am an ex-academic who started writing movie reviews for www.bookmans.com in 2005. Bookman’s is a used bookstore in Tucson where I worked for 8 years. Initially trained in the visual arts, I have also done quite of bit writing over the years. I self-published one book that included several drawings and I have two more in process. I see the blog as an extension of my interests, movies, books, sports, the arts, and politics. I would encourage responses to the blog.
