Kudos to Oklahoma City wunderkind Russell Westbrook, who recorded his tenth straight triple double last night, breaking a long-standing record held by Wilt Chamberlain, who retired in 1973.
At 48, it seemed Phil Mickelson's days as a contender in majors was past. After winning the weather-delayed Pebble Beach Pro-Am yesterday, Lefty is back in the mix. Kudos.
Last night Movies!, channel 5-2 on over the air antennas in NYC, ran the 2002 version of The Time Machine, starring Guy Pearce. It was so enjoyable I forgot about tuning in to Manifest at ten. As expected the special effects were superb, especially the rendering of the Morlocks. It was directed by Simon Wells, great grandson of the H.G. Wells, who wrote the classic novel on which the film is based. So is it better than the 1960 version starring Rod Taylor, which I loved as a kid? Since I haven't seen that one in ages, it wouldn't be fair to render an opinion. Here's what users at IMDb think: the first is rated 7.6 on a scale of ten, the second 5.9. That rating shouldn't deter anyone from watching the latter. Here's Pierce in character in his contraption:
Although the wintry mix put the kibosh on the floating book shop, there was activity. While on my morning walk I spotted yellow out of the corner of my eye, despite the sparse light. I recognized the covers of novels in Russian. There were about 50 hardcovers in a large plastic bag. I slung it over my shoulder like Santa Claus and carried it four blocks to the old Hyundai. It wasn't easy, but it will be worth it.
