    Yeah, I liked Sugar a lot. Was about to rent it and then I saw that my son already owned it. The list is getting challenging. Aside from the movies, I don't have many "easy" ones left.

    I have a grandiose goal to add to my bucket list Jim. I'd like to see a sanctioned baseball game at least at the college level (since a few states lack a minor league team) or above in all 50 US states.
