On this Day

I think the best remembered picture of Lee Marvin is of Kid Sheleen in Cat Ballou.

I'm not much into musicals but Cat Ballou was a great movie.

50th anniv. of John Glenn's orbits.
Being from Ohio, we were always told of John Glenn. And he went on to be a politician. Today I heard there was only a 1 in 6 chance of him getting back alive . That's the first I heard of that. True pioneer!

Final Minute of the "Miracle on Ice" - YouTube

Thanks for posting that video. I must have watched that final minute 1000 times over the years. It is such a great memory from my childhood. I was (am) such a huge hockey fan. I still strap on the pads twice a week and try to re-live my glory days. We will NEVER see an upset of that magnitude again . . . NEVER.

Both of my kids have played youth hockey games on that same sheet of ice.
