Alexis and I are in New York City visiting our daughter, Jeanie. We’re staying at her apartment in Queens. We woke up to a sparkly sunny day and went to eat some breakfast at a Moroccan place near Crescent and 30th Street. I don’t remember the name of it. It’s something like Montreaux. As we sat in this relatively small establishment waiting for our food, we watched Moroccan TV. More specifically, we watched Moroccan music videos. One of the women in one of the videos must be a huge star in Morocco. She did a song about a guy really wanting her. There’s a line that she lip synchs –

There’s not a lot that matters more in Indiana than high school basketball. There’s a movie about it. Go watch it. It’s called “Hoosiers.” Gene Hackman stars as a high school basketball coach who doesn’t have anywhere else to turn, so he winds up in Hickory, Indiana.
