Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/1/18


3 Up

1. Opening Day & Baseball - Mannnnn, it's absolutely tremendous to have baseball back! And right away, the game brought so much entertainment and interest. So glad to have the great game back, and back every-single-day. 

2. New Human Organ? - This could be a major breakthrough for the fight against cancer. The idea that science is still adding new chapters and parts to the human body is astounding and mind blowing. The human body is such an amazing thing - such a complex and interesting, yet, beautiful thing. 

3. Arike Ogunbowale - Two game winning shots, including one launch to win the 2018 National Championship for Notre Dame - Orgunbowale, have a week! 

3 Down

1. Laura Ingraham - This woman is absolutely nuts. Not sure how so many defend her, or even, how so many entertain listening to her, but she has an audience that believes in her and her message each night. Regardless, her words towards Parkland survivor, David Hogg, now has her and her show on FOX News reeling from the removal of sponsors. The worst part of all of this is not the removal of her show, but the mere fact what politics have become in this country. SMH. 

2. Howard University Financial Aid - Such a shame. Such a disheartening thing to hear about Howard University. HBCU's already deal with strict budgets, and under the current administration - reduced funding. Now, Howard must deal with crooked dealings from within. SMH, again. 

3. Heineken Advertisement - Sure they dropped the ad, but seriously, who approves this stuff? 

1. Guts

1. Darius Bazley - The flood gates are now open as Bazley spurned Syracuse University and is headed straight to the G-League following High School. Expect more to head this way as years of abuse of the system by AAU and Division I programs come to a head. Especially so, if Bazley's growth and path is deemed fruitful. Always tough to be the first, but it should be interesting as we move forward.

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The Incredibles 2 (2018)

What is it about? The Parr family returns to take on a new mission which involves a change in family roles as well as a new villain. Who is in it? Craig T. Nelson - Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible Holly Hunter - Helen Parr/Elastagirl Sarah Powell - Violet Parr Favorite Scene: After trying to contain Jack-Jack, his constant battle with a backyard rodent opens up the family to the multitude of powers that he possesses, or even, can develop. Favorite Quote: "If you wanna get out of the hole, first you gotta put down the shovel." Review: Like many, I LOVED the original Incredibles film. And yes, I too was annoyed whenever a sequel wasn't announced. After all, there were many franchises that debuted, got a sequel, and even moved straight to release on their third installment before our lovable heroic family got their turn! But I digress... Nonetheless, it finally arrived. And if I'm being honest, The Incredibles 2 was good. It just wasn't what I wa

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/21/23

3 Up 1. Jim Brown's Legacy - It almost felt like it went without notice (maybe, just for me?), but the great Jim Brown left us this week. A fantastic athlete, with a more prominent voice and presence, Brown reshaped and redefined the standard for using your platform, and of course, expanding your influence.  2. Indoor Farms - As our natural resources became scarce, in some ways, alarmingly damaged (that's another discussion for another day), we've seen some amazing alternatives come about. The presence of indoor farms has been such, especially this precise farm in Compton that has produced 4.5 million pounds of leaves. Most importantly, is a resource within the community that was not available before.  3. $11B Rural Clean Energy Project - I'm sure they'll be some political retort to this, because well, there always is. But bringing clean energy to many rural areas of the United States is very much part of the issue in advancing our clean energy. On the surface, it

Dome Pondering Movie Review: We're the Millers (2013)

What is it about?  A veteran neighborhood drug dealer creates a fake family of interesting people in his neighborhood to transport a huge shipment of drugs from Mexico into the U.S. Who is in it?   Jason Sudeikis - David Clark Jennifer Aniston - Rose O'Reilly Will Poulter - Kenny Rosmore Emma Roberts - Casey Mathis

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 5/28/23

3 Up 1. Memorial Day Weekend - There are a lot of people who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. It's more than a three-day weekend, or the unofficial start to summer - take some time and appreciate the many lives given to be where we are.  2. Tina Turner - An absolute favorite of mine, Turner leaves us with nothing but awesome songs, memories, and a vibe and energy that was unmatched.  3. Debt Limit Deal - Well, one week later and I think I understand the entire debt limit stuff. Nonetheless, we're giving it an "Up" as it's settled. Crisis averted? Go America.  3 Down 1. Target Rescinds Pride - Our society has become ridiculous. After conservatives railed liberals for "cancel culture", the right has doubled down with threats at Target regarding their Pride Month displays. All of this follows a Bud Light ban. We've officially become a country where we all cancel what we don't like. So much for discourse.  2. Catholic Church in Illinois -
