THIS DAY IN HISTORY
Leo Tolstoy, the revered Russian novelist was born on this day. On this very day, he would have been one hundred and thirty seven years old.
If he had lived.
AN OBSERVATION
Definition of a football classic: A game, usually played on a Saturday afternoon, starring two friendly football teams, who are determined to beat the living daylights out of each other.

Our Annual Briarcliff-Pleasantville Football Luncheon took place here today. It was a gala affair, featuring star players and the coaches of both teams. But the nagging question was “Where were the pretty cheerleaders?”
There was much bragging and boasting on both sides, and the telling of excellent stories There was very little humility—thank Heaven!
Did you notice? There seemed to be a goodly number of female members in the Pleasantville Rotary Club
Hmmmmm.
Next year, the luncheon will be hosted by the Pleasantville Rotary Club. Polish up your
table manners, and let’s think about inviting more women into our Club.
It sure would beautify things.
