THAT’S THE WAY I SAW IT

WINNING THE WORLD SERIES IS NOT THAT GREAT

The Boston Red Sox, a very good team, won the World Series in four games. Some experts predicted it would take seven. Most players want to be appreciated, well paid and play on a winning team. However, there is some talk that one of the Red Sox players may be moving on to greener pastures. Greener pastures meaning more money.

Many old time baseball fans remember Ernie Banks—19 years with the same team, the Chicago Cubs. Never a World Series winner but elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977. National League MVP in 1958 and 1959, you don’t see loyalty in Major League players that was demonstrated years ago, and that’s the way many fans see it now.

I do, however, love journalism stories and Alex Garland’s blockbuster Civil War depicts the crucial role of journalists. In the film, set in the near future, reporter Joel (Wagner Moura) and photojournalist Lee (Kirsten ...
Be Careful When Naming Beneficiaries
You might not have thought much about beneficiary designations — but they can play a big role in your estate planning. When you purchase insurance policies and open investment accounts, such as your IRA, you’ll be asked to name a beneficiary, and, in some cases, more than one. This might seem easy, especially if you have ...
These Strong Female Leads Grapple With Ethics ~ At The Movies With Kasey
On the heels of Women’s History Month, a string of movies dropped that tell the stories of women making changes, both political and personal. Among these projects, I found a couple of movies featuring strong performances and thin plots as well as a gem of a coming-of-age story. On Netflix, Shirley follows the 1972 presidential campaign ...
