LOUIS ORR, former Syracuse University basketball legend, has died at 64. Growing up in Syracuse, I loved and steadfastly supported/suffered as a Syracuse University (SU) Orange basketball fanatic! And "Louie & Bouie" Louie Orr & Roosevelt Bouie fueled that passion and led SU to national prominence!
I remember hitchhiking to Skytop Park Courts (near Manley Field House) & Onondaga Park Courts (Southside Syracuse) as a high schooler and experienced the rare thrill of playing pick up games against "Louie & Bouie". Louis Orr was my childhood basketball idol and his passing has brought back so many high school memories of why & how vicariously I lived for SU basketball, feelings that I had long since forgotten since SU move into the ACC. Oh, how I wish SU had remained in the Big East. RIP Louis Orr..

2022 FIFA World Cup Soccer
Has anyone considered the historical geo-political matchup dynamics of this World Cup?
US vs. Iran, US vs. England, France vs. England. Morocco becoming the 1st ever African & Islamic majority nation to reach semi-finals by beating neighboring Spain & Portugal and now will play France (as a former French colony)? Not to mention the questionable choice of host nation, Qatar!
Just my perspective that I believe competition & sportsmanship can overcoming nationalistic anger/conflict, reinforcing that athletic competitions can create nationalistic joy, build bridges & connecting humankind. Thoughts?

This morning, I was inspired by the compassionate advocates of CT Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCADV), The Center for Family Justice Inc & Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence in their incredible efforts to eliminate domestic violence in Connecticut.
I was proud to be in the 1st class of CCADV’s First 100 Plus Men Honor Roll committed to the fight against domestic violence in 2012 & continue to support their important mission.
On average, about one in four women and one in 10 men have experienced sexual violence, physical violence or stalking by an intimate partner during their lifetime in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Help is available 24/7 via call, email, text or live chat through CT Safe Connect at CTSafeConnect.org or 888-774-2900. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached at 800-799-SAFE.
GO & SUPPORT A GREAT CAUSE
