Some days, hey, it's tricky to lose a bomb!  Thanks Adam West, for the bomb dance.  It was a hoot!  And for showing us to at least get out there and try.

RUN DASH RUN

Completely valid or not, in NFL recruitment the 40-yard-dash is here to stay.  Why 40 even?  Who knows, but -- " 'It's become a universal way of doing things,' says Gil Brandt, the long-time personnel man for the Cowboys.  'It's like zip codes and postal mailings and area codes.  It's a part of life.' "   No sense holding still.    news
 

Principle in the type:  You can't be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it.  You have to go down the chute.  (And I'm from a generation where a lot of people died on waterslides, so this was an important lesson for me to learn.) ...it will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated."   Tina Fey

Happy Memorial Day weekend!  A royally worthy celebration.  This video warms my heart.  Remembering the sacrifice of others, serves to enrich the human soul and the human behavior.

Where there are football players, there are cheerleaders!  These ladies (see link) worked hard, to make the Los Angeles Chargers squad.  In other news, you may not have to do the splits to make your own dreams come true.   (Sigh of relief emoji...)     news

PICK A NUMBER, ANY NUMBER

In the spring, "Doris Day was all set to celebrate her 93rd birthday," until a dug up birth certificate proofed her to be 2 years older than believed.  Some speculation was her age got bumped around as a young starlet.  Nonetheless, 95 it is.  And she's stickin to it.     story              

Principle in the type:  "The limitations that are the natural consequence of advancing age can in fact become remarkable sources of spiritual learning and insight. . . . Physical restrictions can expand vision.  Limited stamina can clarify priorities.  Inability to do many things can direct focus to a few things of greatest importance."    David A. Bednar

Rolling Stone magazine is celebrating 50 years.  I don't know that it's the biggest act in the show anymore, but it certainly had its day!  Seasons come and seasons go.    news    

 

Principle in the type:  "Sometimes we procrastinate the closing and opening of our doors.  Habits we would like to break, new projects we would like to embark on, great things we say we are going to do ... New doors can be opened anytime we choose, and the old ones can be closed , even today."     Robert L. Backman

       

WHAT'S IN A NAME

Hey, not every news story is top notch, k?  Sometimes news goes like this:  honoring a recently lost bet, "Zoo Atlanta welcomed Tom Brady, a Madagascar hissing cockroach, to its family."   ...I'd rather a park be named after me.  You too?    news

What can I say?  I freaking love the Met Gala!   If you have an ounce of creativity or curiosity, scroll through at the link, and tell me your favorite dress 'art!'   This is breaking news.   (Bonus:  Enjoyed that Courtney Love and Francis Bean went together.  A sign their constant fighting may be fake news.)      news
