"Unpopular" opinions welcome for exactly this reason. Opinions on best leads are great, but I'm also curious about which versions have interesting interpretations of other characters. Thanks for pointing this one out! Chances of me watching several versions over the next few weeks are...high.

People who are better versed in such things than I am: Planning to watch some version of Hamlet this week (read it and watched snippets in high school, but it's been...a while) as research for a writing project. Which version should I go with? #TheatreSky

Though I was excited to dig out one of the go-to quotes of one of my college coaches: "2-0 is the most dangerous score in soccer!" Said excitement and quoting then made me feel about 20 years older than I am for some reason.

That sort of turnaround can be tough, though. I was surprised at how well they handled the rough start (Especially where kids are often quick to turn on each other and dig themselves in deeper in those situations)

One of the other teams from the school I coach at travels to games with us so we can share a bus, and at their game Tuesday, the other team scored twice in the first two minutes. Looked like it was going to be a rough day for us, and then our guys turned it around and won 4-2.

😂 that's one I haven't had the chance to experience before.

Yup. You let your guard down on one end or the other, you're in trouble.

Also, our yard bluebirds have been hanging out at the feeders again, and it has brought a nice splash of contrast to the oranges and reds coming out in the trees

This goofball built a very nice nest in the yard, and every time I see it, it makes me think of those pigeon "nests" made of a couple twigs sort of close to each other. I love how proud of it he looks 😂

Big fluffy white dog has dragged all of his favorite sticks into a pile and is sitting very proudly next to them like one of those pigeons with a nest made from two twigs.
