Movie: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood


“‘You were a child once, too.’ That’s what Mister Rogers said, that’s what he wrote down, once upon a time.”

~ Tom Junod, quoting Mister Rogers, in “Can You Say…Hero?” (Esquire, November 1998)

I just saw A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, starring Tom Hanks and Matthew Rhys.
Yes, yes, yes!
One of the best movies I have ever seen.
If you haven’t seen it or read anything about it, it will not be about what you think it might be.
It’s difficult to describe without giving important parts of it away, so I won’t. Just watch the trailer.
For those who have seen the movie, here is the link to “Can You Say…Hero?”, the article on which the movie is based.
If you haven’t seen the movie, please don’t read this article until you have seen the movie.
Trust me on this.
Go ahead and print it out or save it on your computer for later, but see the movie first.
My heart is full.
Rotten Tomatoes review. 95%!!!

Close to Goal ______________ Do not be in a hurry to succeed. What would you have to live for afterwards? Better make the horizon your goal; it will always be ahead of you. – William Makepeace Thackeray _________________ I am always close to goal because I have set small achievable goals that can be reached quickly. I may have a large goal in mind, but if, on a day-to-day basis, I concentrate on the small goal, the big goal will eventually be achievable. When it comes to weight loss, setting a large goal is a fool’s mission. For example, saying, “I’m going to lose 100 pounds in six months” is unrealistic, and sets one up for failure. Even setting small weight loss goals can be frustrating, given the day-to-day scale variables. But saying, “For one week, I will eat in such a way as to facilitate good health and sensible weight loss. I  can  control what I feed my body, but I  won’t  worry about the number on the scale. If I eat well and use f...

WSUX.com – WSUX

WSUX -- WSUX.com _________________ This is NOT a porn post; sux is simply a term that means to stink, reek, and all things that might be terrible. There is current thought that AI sux/sucks; perhaps it does or perhaps it does not. Question: Is the actual radio station KSUX considered to go against community standards? Would you put their website behind a warning? I hope not. Asking for a friend... I recently acquired this domain; I’m not sure what I want to do with it. Sell it? Develop it? Set up a humor website? A review website about all things that “suck”? Write a humorous book using WSUX as a title? Obviously, for fiction, the domain suggests a dysfunctional East coast radio or TV station, perhaps both. There is a real radio station in Sioux City, Iowa, with KSUX as its call letters; it makes a kind of sense, given that the airport designation for Sioux City’s Gateway Airport is “Sux.” (I grew up in Sioux City, but the Sux designation came about long after I moved away...
