23 Years Later

It looks as if things are finally settling down in Baltimore. Images of two teams playing to an absolutely abandoned park were surreal. You know, the Rodney King beating was 23 years ago. When the officers were not convicted, Los Angeles was put to flames. 23 years later, EVERYONE now carries a video camera around, and what have we learned? Nothing.

“We're doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That's what it is to be alive. It's pretty dense kids who haven't figured that out by the time they're ten.... Most kids can't afford to go to Harvard and be misinformed.” 
― Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard

My first big deal will close tomorrow. Hallelujah! Halle Berry! Halitosis!

Game one of the conference semi-finals starts tonight; Washington vs. the NY Rangers. It should be a brutal, hard fought series. My pick- WAS in 7 games.
