It was a year ago that my son and I visited Murray State University for the first time. He had an interview for a presidential fellowship scholarship on that day. We found out a week later that he had been awarded the scholarship. A year later, he is almost halfway through his second semester studying graphic design at Murray State.

My son wore the same sweatshirt to the Murray State basketball game that I attended with him a couple of weeks ago.

I traveled up to Murray State this weekend to spend time with my son and take in a Murray State basketball game. The Racers won by a point in overtime. It was the first time that I have seen a Murray State athletic team win this school year. I attended two volleyball games and a football game during family weekend in September and we saw the basketball team play in Chattanooga in November.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania movie poster

I went to see Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania with my youngest this afternoon. I think it is the best Marvel movie I have seen in the theater since Spider-Man: No Way Home. I did not get a chance to see Black Panther: Wakonda Forever in the theater so I will qualify it with that.

I have really enjoyed each of the Ant-Man movies. I did miss the three friends in this one. I hope to see them again in the future.

The book, The Pine Tare Game. The Kansas City Royals, The New York Yankees, and Baseball's Most Absurd and Entertaining Controversy

I started reading this one last night. I am really enjoying the background material and reliving moments from my childhood. I read two chapters about the ’76 and ’77 ALCS that the Royals lost both times.

I had seen the book in a Barnes & Noble when I was up in Kansas City in January. I watched the end of the Pine Tar game and watched the final outs when they had to replay weeks later. So I was interested in the book because I had a vested interest.

I received an early Valentine’s gift from my company, LGND, on Saturday. It is a canister of customized LGND M&Ms. Thanks.

My wife and I rented this movie on Amazon Prime. It took us a bit to get into it due to the unusual nature of the movie. It was like a one-person play. The elder C.S. Lewis is conversing with the audience and narrates the story. At different times, there are “scenes” from C.S. Lewis’ life that are more of what you would be used to in a movie.

I particularly enjoyed the pub scene where you feel like you are sitting down with Lewis and sharing a brew.

We really enjoyed the movie and liked how they wove Lewis’ ideas through the dialogue. You can find out more about the movie at https://cslewismovie.com/.
