Midwest Sunday
Our daughter is here from Florida and when she visits, we watch movies! Yay! We are settling in to watch The Day the Earth Stood Still. Oh Keanu Reeves! Based on the book, the original movie was made in 1951. Our son said this version is a winner.

We just finished watching the pole fill for the Indy 500. Yes, it is that time again. Next Sunday I will be rooting for Danica again. She got jilted last year but those things happen. It is part of racing. I think it is fun to hear all the hype about Alex Lloyd and his fun with the color pink this year. “I’ll wear pink for the rest of my career if it means I can get in a race car,” he said. “We’re working hard to make this more than a one-race deal as well. Hopefully, this can just be the start of Pink Lloyd.” He will start in the the middle of Row 4 in his second Indianapolis 500.
I hear there was quite a ruckus north of us at Notre Dame University. President Barack Obama gave the commencement speech at the university. Anti-abortion activists protested because they think that the university was wrong to invite him to speak. Notre Dame is a Catholic Institution. President Barack Obama received a lengthy ovation from students and spectators. I think is okay to protest in a peaceful manner and that not all Catholics agree with the demonstrators.
