writing seminar

 when i got home from work this evening i logged into a writing seminar on zoom. it gave some helpful hints, such as writers write. and sometimes needing to step away from things. a little odd when a moderator spoke of getting no writing done at retreats. the 'big bang theory' reruns were on at this time, but i didn't pay much attention to them. it was when sheldon was asked to be picked up from arizona, starting off half-naked. it was followed by the one where sheldon goes to texas to talk to his brother at his tire store. i had the evening meal during this time, and drank the can of schell's with it so now 3 beers are waiting. then it was time for the 'field of dreams' game on Fox. i did not watch last year as i was getting ready for going to Iowa for a graduation party for 2 nieces, getting gifts for them. i recall coming back with 2 boxes of corn flakes from the hy-vee in Ames, it was movie-themed. watching the game tonight reminded me of how i have visited the field 3 times, first time was about a year after the movie was at theaters. most recently it was in 2012. i once had a bumper sticker on my car from this place. i recognized how they played music from the movie at times, such as 'china grove', and clips from the movie as well. the cubs beat the reds 4-2. i would like to think this is a popular enough event that this may become an annual thing. i noticed plenty of VIPs there such as reds hall of famer johnny bench, as well as rob manfred, the commissioner. it would be nice to see the st. louis cardinals play in this game, but when they are slated to play the cubs next season in london it is not likely that they would do another showcase in the same season. later on i went on a walk and found 84 cents.
