Today we found out that Brazilian musician Sergio Mendes passed away at age 83. I best remember him for covering the Beatles' The Fool on the Hill originally heard on The Magical Mystery Tour. It was a terrible film, but the music was good.

Mets 7 Red Sox 2
Our 20-game package included this Tuesday night game against the Red Sox. Starting pitcher David Peterson was superb as he struck out a career-high 11 in six innings. The game featured home runs by Francisco Lindor, Mark Vientos, and Pete Alsonso as the Mets extended their winning streak to six. The Mets record is a major-league best 53-31 since May 30.
Trip #22 of the Jay Buckley Baseball Tour was at the game. I stopped by as we entered the ballpark, but Jay who escorted the tour was away. Since 2006 the family took six of his tours. They have always been a pleasure.

I Returned to a Movie Theater (AMC Bay Terrace 6) to See Reagan
I have posted about the College Point Multiplex many times over the years. It closed permanently on May 7, 2024. It was nice to have a movie complex within walking distance of home. Since then, I have not gone to a movie. Most of them are suited for a younger audience. Too many times, I went to a movie and left disappointed because the film was just not for me.
Today I decided to take a 10-minute drive to the Bay Terrace 6 mini-complex to see the Ronald Reagan biopic. I didn't agree with many of his politics, but the movie is obviously aimed at older people who lived during his presidency.
The acting was excellent, especially since Dennis Quaid looked and talked like Reagan. The film was historically accurate. It did not consider the relationships of Ronald Reagan with his children.
