    Dream Scenario with Nic Cage was really, really good. The last movie I saw of his was just a cash grab, but this was some great acting from Cage. Really was just a fantastic performance.

    The amount of complaining that would be contained in this thread if this film were 3 plus hours would be incredible. I would have been cool with the movie going to three and a half hours to include more material. I look forward to the director’s cut when it comes out.

    So many places is right! In an alternate universe I sit behind a desk and go out to eat often. In this one being around restaurants so much gives me pause on going out. Being noise averse means that if I want a quiet meal I better find a really out of the way place or buck up and go and spend 150 a person for some decent fine dining. I will just continue to follow your tour of restaurants to see all the great offerings from here.

    The Strand is really cool. I do B&N because of the membership and minimal walking to the Q or 6 line. Union Square was the first place I came to in the city so I love it there. They have a cool farmer’s market that’s still going. I’ve bought some stuff there before to make salsa. Bryant Park gets so crowded this time of year and they charge more for stuff there because of all the tourists. Union is more laid back and quiet in comparison, which is really nice.

    Bryant Park a few days ago. I was at the library right behind it and came out to walk around afterwards.

    Both are fun. I like to go to Bryant Park for free skating and then some coffee after. Union Square is where I go to sit and read at Barnes and Noble and check out the market later in the day.

    I live 1500 miles from the nearest family member. I called my mom on Thanksgiving and talked to her and my 19 month old nephew and 4 year old niece. That was all the family I needed to talk to. Probably get my mom up here for a couple of weeks next month and again that’ll be enough of my family. My mom can come whenever she wants and it’s always a great time when she is here visiting.

    This is so hard to read, but thank you for sharing this with us. Bailey is still there with you in spirit. Just mourn her for however long you want and in whatever way feels best for you. You poured yourself into her emotionally and it’s absolutely okay to feel so much grief in losing her. Pets are awesome and they feel like your kids with the amount of time you are with them. I have two dogs and one is 11 months old in two days and the other is six. Both females and they sleep with me. I give them half a king size bed, but instead the pup sleeps on my stomach and the older one sleeps about six inches away from my head on the right side. Love them both to death though.

    Do these teams employ Iowa alumni on offense?
  10. UpperWestside
    They played in non-district with Pieper winning 34-31. I believe this was while one of the Wolves main guys on offense was still out if I remember a poster correctly that mentioned it. The only thing that can keep Davenport from winning three more games is if they play a team that smashes them in the mouth from the outset and if they get sloppy with the ball on offense. Other than that I think this is a state title team I’ve been watching.

    LaVernia turns it over on downs at the Davenport 6 yard line. 45-31 final. That sophomore back Fallon put up at least 200 on the ground tonight to go along with that TD catch and a 65 yard TD run. Really surprised to see Davenport step up physically with a team that definitely specializes in that style of play in LaVernia. Davenport wins next week against Calhoun by 20 plus. Just too much speed for the Wolves.
  12. UpperWestside
    That one-handed TD catch by Fallon on 3rd and goal was just ridiculous. The throw was in the only place it could be caught as well. 45-31 Davenport under 3 minutes. LaVernia has it near midfield to begin this drive.
  13. UpperWestside
    The Bears score quickly and just when it looks like they come up with a recovery on a surprise onside, they instead were offsides negating the recovery. Inexplicable miscues from the special teams all night for the Bears.
  14. UpperWestside
    LaVernia finally gets a big stop deep in their territory and promptly goes three and out and then has a punt blocked and returned for a TD. Their punt team has absolutely killed them tonight with some horrific miscues. 38-24 with around 8 minutes left.
  15. UpperWestside
    They finally decided to use their size advantage after that brutal 1st quarter and they put up 17 in the 2nd. Unfortunately they just gave up a 51 yard TD to trail 31-17 with 20 seconds to go before the half. Singletary is just having a field day at WR for the Wolves.
  16. UpperWestside
    LaVernia throws an INT on the next possession. Davenport gets a field goal. Up 17-0 under 4 minutes in the 1st. This is a complete speed mismatch.
  17. UpperWestside
    Fake punt failed. Next play 30 yard TD pass for the Wolves. Up 14 four minutes into the game.
  18. UpperWestside
    Davenport straight down the field for a TD to open things with LaVernia.

    Thank you for sharing that story. I really do appreciate hearing about encounters like this where you meet living history. I had googled Betio not too long ago and saw how covered it looked for such a tiny area. I think just standing there on the beach would be sufficient to paying a measure of respect to the men that perished there. I never had the discipline in my younger days to serve (I absolutely knew if I had accepted the recruiting overtures in high school to join the army that it would’ve ended poorly for me.) These men though willingly went halfway around the world pissed that their country had been attacked by the IJN almost two years earlier. That’s courage. Peleliu and Palau are both on the radar as well. There’s a book I hope to read before New Year’s Day about Peleliu. Thank you for letting me know about what I will encounter there. I’m really thankful to you and others that can share so much information in this thread.

    Look you don’t just play one of the schools in the Dakotas and expect to hit double digits on the scoreboard! Square off with Iowa State or any team coached by Lincoln Riley? Sure, it’ll happen.
  21. UpperWestside
    Do I think it’s awesome that Matt Rhule could not get Nebraska bowl eligible because of losing to Iowa and the failson’s 1920’s style offense? Yes, yes I do.
  22. UpperWestside
    I spend an inordinate amount of time in grocery stores and see what has happened with prices. Greedflation is absolutely still happening and it is sickening to me.

    Went to see Saltburn tonight. I had zero idea what it would be about or what to expect. That was a wild movie with so much unexpected drama. If you have a free couple of hours and want to see a really cool movie with Rosamund Pike as one of the co-stars go and see this.I always enjoy stuff she is in so that made this even more fun to watch.
  24. UpperWestside
    If this movie were made on a narrow timeline like that it would not make money. I am not saying it wouldn’t be entertaining, but it would be a loss. Ridley Scott is smart enough to realize that if you want to draw in more people (women) you had better have something besides early 19th century battlefields. Putting in this love story with Josephine does that. It opens it up to a wider audience. I’m fine with that because it’s nice having an adult movie to go see. I can always find a history channel documentary if I just want battlefield stories.

    Kyrie was really flat in the 4th before nailing that go ahead three and free throws to round out the scoring. He really had things all mapped out down the stretch.
