It seemed as if the whole town turned out for the Italian language premiere of Cries from the Cotton Field here in Rocoaro Terme, Italy.
One local lady came up to me in tears for shining a light on the saga of her ancestors.

I caught a home run ball at the Super Regional softball game today. Unfortunately, it was hit by the wrong team. Ole Miss wins game one 9-7.
Arkansas must beat the Rebels twice to advance to College World Series. Game two is 8 pm tomorrow. #WPS

Amazing how often a politician blames the βmediaβ when caught in a lie. They donβt like to be held accountable. You can say gas prices are less than $2.00/gallon, but thatβs not true. Egg prices arenβt going down and the economy is not booming.
The Truth Matters!

Thankfully, pitchers and catchers are headed to warm weather camps to begin preparing for their long seasons ahead.

On this date 20-years ago, December 26, 2004, a devastating tsunami caused tidal waves that roared across the Indian Ocean, slamming into the western coast of Indonesia, killing 230,000.
