It looks like the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend may not be that ugly for a change. I always prefer rain on this day, because of all the auto racing on the tube today. I just saw Fernando Alonso win the European Grand Prix from Germany ("La Marseillaise" in the background for Renault). Then we have Indy and the big Coke race in Nascar from Charlotte later.

Wake up, neighbors. I'm mowin' the lawn now.

Meal of Links

Bring your towels and don't wear your street shoes into the theater. Yes, it's a documentary on pro bowling. Opens here 6/24.

Speaking of movies, "Cinderella Man" opens this week and, by God, it looks like it has all of the elements you love in a boxing flick. I anticipate two gloves up on that one.

Oliver Stone gets pulled over again. I've had my doubts about this man since his bizarre football announcer role in "Any Given Sunday" as Tug Kowalski. Tug Kowalski! I mean, you can't contain that ego. Although bonus points are given for having a Propellerheads song on that soundtrack.

Exercise Yard

The Spurs seem intent on rendering uptempo basketball extinct. Fast break hoops works well in the regular season, but the halfcourt game in the playoffs always comes out ahead. Reference Duke beating North Carolina last year.

Visitor

None, it's a racing Sunday.

Although it is a documentary , if you like bowling it is supposed to be good.Portraying the white knight is Walter Ray Williams.The black knight is PDW.The most emotional part is on Wayne Webb on trying to make a comeback.The Green Machine is one of my all-time faves.He just can't compete the way he used to.Time and technology has passed him by.In the words of Bill Walton "So Sad"
