My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

In Preparation for Opening Day 

And, finally, the movie that in my opinion romanticizes the mythology of baseball, that drifts happily between cold reality ("You're a pacifist!" "Sh!#") and wild fantasy ("If you build it, he will come"), and that gives every boy hope that they can somehow undo some of the stupid things they said to their parents.

Of course, this is Field of Dreams. This is one of those rare movies that is ALL guy, but has the ability to make a guy tear up at the end. Beautiful.

Best line: "If I'd've only gotten to be a doctor for a day . . . now that would be a tragedy."
