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

FINISH LINES

Kenya's Elisha Barno won the men's L.A. Marathon yesterday, with an expert time of 2:11:51.   At less than 3 miles to finish, when lead runner Daniel Limo began to pull ahead Barno told himself 'Let him go.'   However, Barno's heart told him different, and he battled back to win.   " 'There was a lot of pain, but I had to stay patient and I had to keep pushing,' Bruno said."     news  

Principle in the type:  "It is when things go hardest, when life becomes most trying, that there is the greatest need for having a fixed goal, for having an air castle that the outside world cannot wreck.  When few comforts come from without, it is all the more necessary to have a fount to draw from within.  And the man or woman who has a star toward which to press cannot be thrown off the course, no matter how the world may try, no matter how far things seem to be wrong.”     B.C.

Between the Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys, I'm reading today that "nearly $500 million--directly and indirectly--rains down on" Los Angeles when it hosts.  Really?     news

When you are George Lucas you make a special place to hold all your fancies!  For his "$1 billion museum to house an extensive personal collection of paintings, illustrations, and movie memorabilia, Los Angeles has been chosen as the location."  Hey, I get it.  "It belongs in a museum!"  (#indiequotes)    news
