1. Minor Details has been posted.

2. Back from Black Widow. It was fun to see a film in the theater again. I was one of very few who were masked.

   The movie was entertaining enough. I can't say I am thrilled with how her "family" completely disappears between the time of this story and the next Avengers film, given how the story ties her back in. And the ending struck me as problematic.

   why surrender to Ross? You have a jet RIGHT THERE. And, if you surrendered, how did you get away 2 weeks later?

   But details. It had enough humor and enough sort-of-plausible action to be good entertainment.

   1. There were all sorts of problematic stuff going on, but it did what it set out to do, and we were fine with it too. Theater was maybe ⅓ full, and at least one other couple had masks, but I didn't look that closely. Still, 23 minutes of trailers...uff da.

      someone pointed out that Cappy was more than likely still on ice at the time Red Guardian went to prison, so all his talk was just that -- talk

3. If you had bet money on COPA and Euros based on my analysis, I hope you are sending me a small cut of your winnings.

4. So...Chase Petty, I guess.

   1. They have one more pick at the end of the first round as a competitive balance pick.

   2. Here’s hoping he works out better than Kohl Stewart or Tyler Jay. (Yes, prior front office caveats apply.)

      1. He definitely has more personality. He pretty much stole the night TV-wise.

         1. I wasn't following - in what way?

            1. We agree with @LGRed. We want to be Chase Petty when we grow up too. @Twins | #MLBDraft pic.twitter.com/IZs21pyhYj
