2024 MILEAGE - 377.8

During my ride today, I watched my favorite movie that is about my favorite game (baseball)—Field of Dreams (from 1989). I find indescribably moving the soliloquy by the character Terence Mann (played by James Earl Jones) in a climactic moment in the film:

They'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.

This gave me a ride of 21.6 virtual miles, in 1:42.
