Lucy - The Movie
I haven't seen the latest Planet of the Apes movie, but it'll have to be awesome to surpass this hominid related story. Great plot, effects, acting and an ending that keeps you thinking. My kind of movie.

Summer Math Challenge
To help keep our mathematical-logical side sharp this Summer, here's a collective project. The task is to use four 4s and accepted mathematical symbols/operations to create expressions that are evaluated to result in the values from 1 to 100.
For example, 44/44=1
4/4 + 4/4 = 2
And so forth.
Who can get us to 3? 4? 5? All the way to 100?

The Longest Day of the Year
Actually, almost all days are same length, in terms of time. Every few years a second will be added to a day to synchronize astronomical time with man's chronological approximation. The first day of Summer occurs when the Sun is above the horizon longer than any other day of the year. Time is many things: fleeting, limited, precious, money, our ally or our enemy at different times. My sons gave me a nice watch for Fathers' Day, so time is something with which I can keep up.

If I was in charge of the NBA, I would
reinstitute the "3 chances to make 2" free throws once the limit of 7 fouls in a half has been reached in by the opposing team. This would also apply to shooting fouls. For fouls on three point attempts, 4 chances to make 3 would be applied. In addition, I would eliminate "fouling out." A player could accumulate unlimited fouls during a game.
