Hello ! I attempted to read some of the articles yesterday but distractions occurred. Today tried again and was more successful. The 2 from the Atheletic require a subscription, Nope. Project Hail Mary sounded interesting, clicked on the trailer & shut it down after 3 minutes. To me, all art is art. I am an Art Fart and all forms are good. About Ukraine's Plan... I hate war & wish for Peace especially for Ukraine so use those drones and hit the target hard ! NHL Blood Feuds was interesting. The one statement "The game has changed for the better if you like speed, skill, grace and talent" sums up why ice hockey is my favorite sport. I could do without the fights but my son says that is the best part? That's one of the big differences between men & women.... men like violence and women try to end it. Each to their own, I guess. Thanks for the good reads and have a happy week !!!
