"Dog Day Afternoon" Revived on Broadway - Need to Be Reminded We're All Screwups, Like Sonny and Sal

 Yeah, go rob a bank. That's the common blow-off we do to those who are boring us with their money challenges. The idea of pulling that off is so other-dimension that it shuts down the conversation.

So, that real life 1972 event at the Chase Bank in Brooklyn by Sonny Wortzik and Sal Naturile resonated with lots of folks, including journalists and those in the film loop. Essentially it was a story about two screwups who had parts of themselves which were so much like ours. The pathos became a blockbuster box office and critical success in 1975 - "Dog Day Afternoon."

To begin with, the robbers' timing was off (like studying for BA, MA or PhD which winds up on the wrong side of the law of supply and demand when done). They arrive at Chase after the money had been picked up, leaving only a bit over 1,000 bucks.

There is also the tactical decision to burn the register. The smoke attracts the cops.

And, all-so-human they believe the promises of authority. Their escape plan to fly away to an exotic land is doomed. 

As Sonny, Al Pacino and as Sal, John Cazale capture the reality of human beings as a highly flawed species. Also, what a treat: They are both together again post their roles in "The Godfather."

In this era when so many of us are being hit with collapsing career strategies and losing our identities/savings, the memes in "Dog Day Afternoon" grab us. It's available on free streaming platform Tubi. 

Predictably this dark comedy of errors is being revived on Broadway on March 30th. We will have a shot at laughing ourselves into self-forgiveness. With so much disruption, more and more tarot readings focus on the need to make sense of a shift in the wheel of fortune.

There is a global wipeout of those who didn't bother to calculate the reputational risk of interacting with Jeffrey Epstein. Dating back to the oldest of the Boomers we really did develop blind faith in "The More Education the Better." Marketers duped us into living above our income instead of below and investing more. And we were convinced we wouldn't age. 

Takeaway: Leverage compassion for Sonny and Sal into the ability to accept ourselves as humans. 

Path to success, your tribe and peace is inside job.

Let’s start the journey together with a Tarot reading.

One free question.

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. ...

Don't Expect Compassion - The Sidley Biter and More

  Values are fragile entities. As a tarot reader I'm picking up on compassion falling off a cliff. With so much employment uncertainty, inflation and the disruptions of Generative AI, human beings are withdrawing into themselves. The mindsets are self-care, not caring much about others. Predictably the story of the law student doing a lucrative internship at Sidley law firm who probably has risked an entire career has become a joke. Well, it's been confirmed that they were a biter. Yes, the teeth kind. Not a hustler after opportunity. A rare bit of posting on Reddit by someone who works at Sidley requests empathy for a human being who will be caught up in the consequences of bad behavior.  That plea probably won't get very far. The same applies to other human beings on the wrong side of the economy.  In a 12-step club, for example, there's growing tension about the willingness to allow the homeless hang out. Their peculiar conduct has already reduced attendance at meet...

Ohio's State Parks: Anyone from Any State Can Chill for Free, Not So in Michigan

Image
  Lake Erie is the jewel of the Midwest. Yes, it even has waves. Some winters the waves freeze in motion. The designs are awesome.  Well, throughout Ohio you can gaze at Lake Erie, have a picnic or family celebration near it or swim in it. Sure, bring the dog. Mine, who is now passed over, had run on the beach.  There is no fee. Not for entrance to the state parks and not for parking in them. It doesn't matter if you're not a resident of Ohio or if your license plate is from another state. Clients love to have tarot readings there and then afterward reflect standing by the water.  That's Ohio.  Today I traveled from Toledo, Ohio to Michigan to experience Lake Erie in what I hoped would be a different way. That was to Sterling State Park in Monroe. I hoped for something a bit different.  Shock. As I drove into the park there was a gatekeeper. Wow. I stopped my car and asked if I needed a sticker or something. They inquired if I was from another state. I ans...
