It was nice that after experiencing the awe of these magical athletes, they all came together as a happy family for all; that the genuine kindness of the human spirit still exists.
If I was involved in trying to stop murders, I would be most interested in why so many people disregard the lives of others. Especially young people seeing cold blooded murder as a solution to anything. Not whether or not they are using a gun.

Four musical pieces that always get my blood flowing are Brahms Academic Festival Overture, Sebelius Finlandia, Benjamin Britten’ A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra and John Adams’ Grand Pianola.
Speaking of cowardice, I will not buy prebagged salads for fear of deadly listeria. Aad what’s so hard about buying heads or stalks or bunches of lettuce ad cutting it yourselves, anyhow.
