All my tomorrows

1979 Little League World Series

I love baseball, it would probably be the sport I chose if I was told I could only ever watch one sport.

So tactical, so theatrical and this Little League game was a good standard.

Tanjungpura University

A Public university in the city of Pontianak, Indonesia.

Has to be said, my high school never looked like this.

Fabulous!

Rakousy

A village and municipality in Semily District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic.

Looks really pretty.

Trinidad Sanchez Jr.

Nice to get a poet, seems he's most famous for a piece called 'Why am I so brown?'

Here's a clip of the poem Why am I so brown?

Arthur Thrall

Seems to be my week for artists.

A lot more modern this time, Arthur Thrall died last year and there is an exhibition of his work in America later this year.

I had a look at some of his work, this one amused me.

Redhills GFC

I love just about all sports, when I watch them on TV, I seem to 'get' them fairly on and can have a knowledgeable discussion on the sport.
Gaelic football is an exception, I just can't get a handle on it.
On drawing this as my random Wikipedia article of the day, I looked up the Redhills GFC website and didn't even understand the score of recent matches.
So my mission to to watch an entire game and see if I can crack this tough nut of a sport.
Couldn't find a video for Redhills GFC in action so here is a general video of some great plays.

Whitney Biennial

A biennale exhibition of contemporary American art.

I'd never heard of this so checked out their website.

Pretty much what you'd expect, some stunning work, some colourful, some modern, some most unusual, some, plain bizarre. Very interesting to view.

Here's  a picture of one of my favourites.

As Monty Python once said, "I may not know much about art, but I know what I like."

Throne of blood

The first movie that's come up. I love old movies and watch a couple each week. Never seen this Japanese movie based on Macbeth.
Brilliant production and well acted. Worth seeing for the ending alone.
I found it available online. Give it a try.

Stella Matutina

This was a Jesuit school that operated from 1651 although it shut for some lengthy periods.

Now houses over 400 students of music and great to see such a fabulous building still regularly used.

Interesting Wikepedia article that is worth a read.

Alphonso Sgroia

Apparently, a New York gang member who testified against his gang and got released from prison early. He then lived happily with his family in Italy.
Well that's alright then!!!!!!!

Here's a picture of Alphonso and a couple of other gangsters.

Nocloa

Nocloa is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family.

How can things that look so pretty be such an irritation?
