Three Head Coaches In Final Four Are Members Of The Tribe



It could inspire another Adam Sandler Hanukkah Song. The coaches of three of the Final Four teams in the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament are of the Jewish faith.  Of course, I'm very proud.  

In top, Florida Gators coach Todd Golden with Bruce Pearl of Auburn, names that really shine, pun intended. 

Bottom picture.  Jon Scheyer of Duke.  

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson, coached basketball at my alma mater, Washington State from 1988-1994.

Lucia Flores-Wiseman's Unique Voice Reinvents Benson Boone's "Slow It Do...

Lucia Flores-Wiseman keeps rolling on in The Voice competition.  The Maple Valley artist last Monday (March 31st, 2025), won her knockouts round against Grace-Miller Moody, who did an amazing rendition of the Fleetwood Mac standard, "Dreams". 
As this is my first season watching, I'm slowly learning how the competition works.

Val Kilmer Dies


 Val Kilmer, who gained fame by playing Iceman in Top Gun and its decades later sequel Top Gun Maverick has died. 

Kilmer starred as the Top Gun flier Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, Tom Cruise character Maverick's chief rival, who morphs into his staunchest ally, most notably in the sequel.  

He also starred in the lead role of Jim Morrison in The Doors.  A biopic that is also a favorite of mine. 

You can find more about his body of work by clicking here. 

Kilmer was 65.
