Re: Memorial day and other... things
Many years ago I used to watch hockey (because my boyfriend did) and I think
I wouldn't mind watching "Miracle" about the winning US Olympic team. But
beyond that, I've no interest in sports at all.
I think the internet can be helpful in securing the news we want to know
about when our local newspapers fail us. I hope and expect that as the end
of June draws closer, we'll be hearing more about Iraq.
