A Large Regular

 

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

How great would it be if you took all the great "Hail Mary" passes in football history (Stabauch, Flutie, etc.) and set them to the music of Ave Maria?... In January of 1835 the U.S. national debt was reduced to $0 for the first and only time in history (file this under things that will never happen again)... Interesting look at what went wrong with Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles. Was amused by this line in the article, "When you believe you've found the Great White of team sports - an elite quarterback - you hold on for dear life and you feed the beast." Even the moderately literate get that "Great White" is a Moby Dick reference but I chuckle knowing many out there will wrongly read it as some sort of MAGA dog-whistle or even sillier as some kind of reference to the movie JAWS... Has anyone asked Joe Biden if he plans to move the US Embassy out of Jerusalem? I know Biden has only been asked softballs but I'd be really curious to hear his response to this question... Need a ruling on this - the way Amazon, Apple, and Google trampled Parler would that have been considered a violation of Net Neutrality if Net Neutrality was the law of the land? If not - what's the good of Net Neutrality?... 

This is beautiful on so many levels. Not many could hold their own singing with Pavoratti. Hearing Latin sung with an Irish accent adds to the beauty.

RIP Dolores.

Ave Maria

The song Ave Maria is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created by human minds. The song is basically the prayer Hail Mary in Latin set to music (versions by Bach and Verdi among others). Every football fan knows what a "Hail Mary" is but I got to wondering this morning how great it would be if you took all the great Hail Mary passes in history (Stabauch, Flutie, etc.) and set them to the music of Ave Maria? I wish I had video editing skills.
