As we head into October (only 7 shopping days left until my birthday...), I am reflecting on two events from September that have left me saddened.
The selfish and self-serving movie stars of today would do well to take a page from the book of Paul Newman, who not only dedicated part of his life to military service but also a huge chunk of his later life to philanthropy. The world loses a great man with the passing of Paul Newman, not just for his contributions as an actor but for his goodness as a human being.
It's like deja vu all over again...Yogi Berra says good bye to Yankee Stadium as the historic landmark hosts its last game. *Sob* I'm almost as sad as I was a couple years ago when the Phillies said good bye to the Vet. I hate that in our disposable society, we always prefer the new and shiny to the old and trusted.
It will be the saddest day ever if they do away with Fenway...but I have a feeling that will never happen.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a shame if Wrigley were abandoned too.
