Wow! What a weekend!
1- Kentucky Derby riveting! There should have been an inquiry just to dispel any doubt there was no infraction in the final strides of an epic finish. Mystik Dan guided to victory by jockey Brian Hernandez, Jr. with a masterful ride along the rail.

3-Donovan Mitchell said “not today” with his performance in the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 7 win over the Orlando Magic. He threw the Cavs on his back and showed what it means to “take over an NBA game.”

12- Step meeting Portland, Maine a woman who says she has beaten herself up for years. She had trouble forgiving herself.
Job after job, self-hatred and self-sabotage was her way of life until
