Splash

One year when I was single I wrote down every movie I watched. Those were the days of the dollar theaters and I’d go quite often with Hurt, Head, and the crew. Watched over 365 movies that year. I went through a phase of watching the movie Splash I don’t know how many times. A girl had just broken up with me and I was down in the dumps. One time I went and watched Splash by myself at the Toco Hills dollar theater. As I was getting out of my car I decided to take a pen and paper so I could take notes. Helped me remember the movie.

You’ve Got Mail used to be on so much that Barney figured out the scenes when Tom Hanks’ dog Brinkley would be appearing, and so Barney would watch the movie with me., and get up close to the TV when the dog was on.  

Not long ago I went through my calendars to compile all the sporting events I had attended. Discovered some things I did that I had forgotten about.

CC SABATHIA  [B-R Bio] passed John Smoltz on the career strikeout list in 2019. Sabathia finished with 3,093, slipping past HOF Smoltz’s 3,084 in 2019, Sabathia’s last season. He joined Yankees in 2009, leading them to their most recent World Series championship, capturing the ALCS MVP along the way. His 19 wins in 2009 and 21 in 2010 both lead all MLB pitchers (tied in 2010 with Justin Verlander & Felix Hernandez). Sabathia struck out Ichiro Suzuki for strikeout number 1,000 on 21-May-2007. His birth name was Carsten Charles Sabathia, Jr. He preferred the initials and was known as “See-See”, “Sí Sí” or “C.C.” by all. To remove any ambiguity, he eliminated the period and the spaces. You’ll now find him under “CC”.

Denison: Jesus told his followers, "Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!" (Luke 6:22). Paul was dogmatic: "All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Timothy 3:12). Over the first three centuries of the Christian era it is estimated that as many as two million Christians died for their faith. Journalist John Allen reports that "Christians today are indisputably the most persecuted religious body on the planet." One scholar estimates 90% of all people killed on the basis of their religious beliefs are Christians.
