When I Met When Harry Met Sally
April 29th, 2010 | 
Author: Quintessential romantic comedy of the ages: When Harry Met Sally. How many times have you seen that movie, seriously? If you are anything like me, you also don’t admit to your buddies that you’ve seen it a million times, think Billy Crystal is at the height of his hilarity, and that Meg Ryan has never been in anything better. You cry at the end, and hate yourself for it.
The great thing about this movie is that it embraces the truth about female-male friendship. Always, always there is something brewing under the surface in these relationships, but they are comforting because a person can meet their emotional needs with a member of the opposite sex under the guise of platonic love. The expectations that accompany romantic attachment do not have the opportunity to confuse and complicate everything. Harry loses his wife. Sally gets dumped. They meet up, oddly, serendipitously, again as they have intermittently throughout the years, to find each other in very similar situations. Billy Crystal starts talking about pecan pie in a ludicrous accent that never ceases to make me laugh, and throughout the entire thing a guy like me is trying to deny how absolutely endearing the whole story is.

Kids and Basketball Shoes
If you take a look around, there are a lot of kids that love to play the sport of basketball. Just about every playground that has a hoop is being used by kids when they get a chance to get out and play. All they need is a hoop, a basketball and the right basketball shoes. The hoops are provided by the parks and recreation department as is the place they are erected. So the kids are on their own to provide the actual basketball and the shoes required to play. The ball is not that hard to get. They are relatively inexpensive. You can find one at just about any store such as walmart, sears, J.C. Penny and Dicks. A couple kids can throw their money in and they come up with a basketball.
Basketball shoes are a different story. Kids see what the pros wear on TV. What they see the pros wear and what the pros endorse is what they want. Now these kids for the most part do not have a lot of money. Their parents may not either. So what do they do? Some resort to stealing. They steal from the store. Some will even steal from other kids. They will take them right off their feet. The whole reason is that they are just that expensive.
