Ben Affleck is Jack Cunningham in the new inspiring sports movie called The Way Back. Jack is a former basketball high school standout who returns to coach his old team after the current head coach suffers a heart attack. Affleck’s character is at the bottom of the barrel in his life after suffering tragedies that lead him to the local bar every night. A friend of his father comes to his aide every night to pull him out of the bar and get him home. One of the tragedies that have him down in the dumps is the recent death of his father. He also lost his son, and his wife has left him.

After a slow start, he whips his unmotivated team into a winning group; teaching the boy’s life lessons along with basketball. Also, along the way, he gets back his passion for the game and his passion for life. However, when another tragedy comes his way, he falls back into his old ways and loses his job as the coach.

The Way Back is a great sports movie. The action and the inspiration of the story will keep you enthralled throughout the movie. The movie is also a redemption story with Affleck’s

character overcoming his tribulations to get his life back. Affleck delivers a strong performance as the tormented coach.

The movie is rated R for language. (Affleck curses like a sailor in the movie.) It has a run time of 1 hour and 48 minutes. On my “Hollywood Popcorn Scale” I rate The Way Back a LARGE.

Recipe for disaster!

ASK ALMA

By Alma Gill

Dear Alma,

I read an article that suggested that married couples should openly discuss sexual and emotional attractions to other people. The hurtful part of infidelity, the author said, is the deception, not the sex act. By openly discussing a desire to stray, she said, the couple stands a better chance of avoiding an affair or surviving one if it happens. Do you think this is a good idea? Should a man tell his wife that he wants to sleep with another woman, or should a wife tell her husband that she wants to sleep with another man? This sounds like a recipe for disaster, if you ask me.

Arlis H., Florida

Hey Now Harlis, without apologies, unequivocally, NO, I don’t think it’s wise to have this type of conversation with your spouse.

Infidelity is a small part of a bigger problem not being addressed. The act and the deception go hand in hand. Both are equally devastating. “Couple Up” and discuss the actual challenges you’re facing in your relationship. Having the thought and discussion of being disloyal and betraying your partner should be avoided.

Whether married or not, we experience sexual and/or emotional attractions; it’s a part of being human…and fantasizing. For example: Let’s say you have a moment (or two) while watching Eamonn Walker on “Chicago Fire.” Should you tell your husband? No. Should you have an affair? No.

What should you do? I suggest, instead, that you buy a fire-engine red teddy, throw your husband to the floor and let the games begin. (Chile, it’s gettin’ hot up in here. LOL)

Anywho, you and I agree; the discussion of or act of infidelity would be equally damaging to a marriage. If having an affair has crossed your mind, tend and weed those thoughts carefully in your own secret garden. A successful and victorious marriage has no room for that kind of thinking to bloom and grow.

On “From Marva with Love,” Joyce Brown, Ms. Texas Senior America Pageant 2019 joined us to talk about representing the positive image of aging for women 60 and older. She says the ladies have reached the “Age of Elegance” and are the foundation of America. The pageant champions healthy aging, wellness, and mental-being. The contestants exemplify the “positive image of aging.” She worked 38 years in the technology field and spent 30 years in various forms of engineering management. MS: Ms. Joyce, will you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got involved in Ms. Texas Senior America Pageant?

JB: Thank you for having me on your show. I am very humbled and I am excited to come and talk about the things that I’m most passionate about. So a little about me I have an Electrical Engineering degree that I got in 1981 it was a lifetime ago. But anyway I spent 38 years working in Corporate America, eight years at Texas Instruments and another 30 years at Abbott Laboratories. When I was thinking about retiring, I thought ‘I want to retire, what am I going to do?’ I tried to figure out what was going to be my next chapter. So in the meantime, I was about to turn 60. I finally hit that point. For the first time in my life ever I was feeling depressed about turning a new decade. I wasn’t happy with where I was in life. And I decided that I was going to break things open and change my attitude, change my eating habits and ended up losing about 30 pounds. I became more confident. I was looking for something that I could do once I retired. So I found out about the pageant. I said I’m going to do it. I had never done a pageant before. That was my very first time. I said I’m going to do it and I’m going to win it. But I didn’t have a talent. I didn’t know what I was going to do but I’m going to do my best. And now at 60, I am living my best life. I am fulfilled in every way.

MS: You became a Certified Health Coach. What can we do to become healthier?

JB: Yes, so when I was going on that journey trying to figure what I was going to do when I retired, because of all the years in management and Corporate America....

The Celebrity Interview: Slow Burn

Slow Burn THAT CELEBRITY INTERVIEW

By VALDER BEEBE

Slow Burn looks back at the fall of a president. Based on the popular podcast, the new EPIX docu-series examines Watergate and the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Host and political reporter, Leon Neyfakh, discusses with Valder what her viewers will learn in Slow Burn, and how the Watergate scandal and ensuing impeachment hearings compare to what’s taking place in our nation today during a politically tumultuous time.

In its first two seasons, the popular podcast series Slow Burn looked back at two of the biggest stories of the late 20th century—the Watergate scandal and the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Expanding on the podcast’s first season, the Slow Burn TV series focuses on the Watergate crisis, excavating the strange subplots and forgotten characters involved in the downfall of a president -- and flashing back to politically tumultuous times not so far removed from today. Both the TV series and podcast are hosted by political reporter Neyfakh, who reported for the New York Observer and The Boston Globe before joining Slate, where he covered the criminal justice system and the Justice Department before co-creating Slow Burn with Andrew Parsons. –Text provided by Leon Neyfakh’s publicists in conjunction with the Valder Beebe Show

VBS: Slow Burn is déjà vu in relations to today’s impeachment hearings in Washington with President Trump.

LN: Slow Burn, which began as a podcast, is now premiering as a TV show on EPIX. What really made it come to life and made listeners really respond. We tried to transport listeners back to a time when no one knew how this historic event [Nixon impeachment] would turn out. It was a time people read the newspapers and watched the News to get event updates.

VBS: There were lots of characters who are now iconic; Martha Mitchell aka the mouth of the south, Roger Stone who was just sentenced to prison, Howard Hunt, Leslie Stahl who was reporting on the events. This was enlightening.

LN: It was also lots of fun! We wanted to not make it so stoic we wanted to include fun and excitement. We tried to make it like gossip in some places even as these world events were unfolding, in retrospect.

VBS: How did the success of showcasing a history event come about for Slow Burn?

LN: History itself was central to the podcast [version of] Slow Burn that became successful, then we reintroduce urgency....

About Your Hair: Shades Of Sexy Gray Hair In Your 50s, 60s & 70s

ABOUT YOUR HAIR

BY DR. LINDA AMERSON www.hairandscalpessentials.com

Some women in their 50s are not ready to accept their gray wisdom strands, therefore, hair color is their monthly image friend. Gray hair is most often a hereditary gift that many individuals would love to return. Gray hair is due to the failure of pigment formation in the hair follicle; which means the pigments are not producing the hair color, or there is an interruption that occurs during this production. It is common for the hair to lose its pigmentation slowly as a person’s age increases, and it indicates normal physiological changes. However, it can also be an indication of internal disturbances or nutritional deficiencies.

Some of the causes may include excessive worry from personal or family issues, grief from losing a spouse, child, parent, grandparent, etc, grief of losing several people or family members consecutively. Some people have also experienced alopecia (hair loss) from this type of grief.

Or stress from high profile positions involving making decisions that affect millions of people.

Have you ever noticed how our presidential leaders enter the White House with their dark hair then, after a few years of decision making, they begin to show visible signs of gray hair?

Work overload at work and/ or at home has an effect.

Anxiety and nervous strain may relate to a deadline, a possible promotion, concern over one’s health, or abuse of any type. Premature grayness may occur as early as childhood with a few strands, progress to sprinkling during adolescence, to further graying during your twenties. It is usually hereditary. A copper mineral deficiency.

Some individuals experience complete grayness by age 30. One good example is American Idol winner Tyler Hicks, who received much ridicule about his gray hair when he was a contestant. You have the choice to embrace, color it, or add gray extensions to flaunt your sexy gray.
