In a story I just read (by our man Bronto) the Long Beach AD appears to be taking credit for their run to qualify for the tournament, saying he hoped the firing would inspire the team to play better. What an asshole.

Hudsucker was ok as a screwball comedy, but it didn’t really grab me. Certainly not like Raising Arizona did.

I am envious of those old skiers. There was a time in my life when I skied 30+ times a year. Now, with eye and shoulder issues, my balance seems off. So I may never ski again. It’s not a big deal, given the cost, anyway, but it does make me wistful.
