If it wasn’t for Díaz, the Mets pen would be a complete disaster. The Flyers have also stopped using God Bless America and have covered up a statue of her.

There’s five minutes I can’t get back

Update and further story on the long awaited gospel film. How ‘Amazing Grace’ Was Born, Buried and Resurrected

I have never read the Furst books so will need to check them out. In a slightly different vein, the French TV series A French Village, which details like in a fictional French village during Vichy, appears to be good; I started watching it recently. It’s on Hulu. I believe I read that it was a big hit in France.

There is a difference between going along and being an active participant; that's why Laval was executed and Petain sentenced to death (although the sentence was not carried out). In addition, Vichy remained in control of its colonies in North Africa and the Middle East; they fought the Allies and had to be actively subdued.

Mets season may have taken a u turn: deGrom is headed back to NY to have his elbow examined. He had Tommy John in 2010.

He probably should have avoided that second glass of wine.

This is what is generally happening today, right or wrong. Companies are fearful of offending anybody at the cost of sales so they take no chances.

Yanks have dumped Kate Smith’s singing of God Bless America during the 7th stretch because she may have sung racist songs, https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-kate-smith-god-bless-america-20190418-wfkyednrvrherh57sfmb4h7s5y-story.html

The Marsalis’ are the gift that keeps on giving (at least on this board).

Her refusing to go to doctors probably has something to do with her death. It’s hard to muster sympathy for a person in such a case.

The Forum, although in all honesty, there is very little PI this Forum has on its members. I once had this argument years ago with a company about information they were collecting on its customers and they grudgingly made their site more secure.

It took hundreds of years to build the Cathedral. It may take decades to rebuild.

It may be a long time before we are back at a high level. A 1-1 draw with Leganes is not very inspiring.

Who would have thought it?

It’s terrible. A loss to the world.

It was my understanding that you had to opt in to access it. In addition, before the directive became effective, Mosaic gave notice to its subscribers what action they needed to take to access the Jazz Digest. It's not just "data bullshit." Protecting personal information is important.

Finished this in a few days. You don’t have to be a Caro fan to love this book. A lot of great wisdom about researching and interviewing. Whets your appetite for the last book in the Johnson saga, which is still a few years away. My guess — and hope — is 2022.
