Friday Follies: Weather, Politics and Sports

Picture: At the golf course a few days ago before the snow and cold arrived.

It's sunny and not all that cold up here on the hill. Day stretches out before us. Diane's going out, down to town for food stuff and things; I might head on east and north, Bedford and Bloomington. I'm still looking for a computer/writing desk and, while I'm doing that, might as well keep an eye out for a scooter of some sort to get me down the road and around the corner and up to the golf course without going through a gallon of gas. And then on to Sams for a few essentials. No Christmas shopping today.

No pressing news from the political world though I did see some pretty catty cartoons (here's one; more at Fromkin's cartoon watch at the bottom of this link) dealing with our leader's search for goodies (oil, peace, democracy) in his travels in the Middle East. You gotta feel bad for the guy, don't you?

And in sports, IU beat Minn last night with the non-gordonites doing the heavy work as Eric was experiencing an off night. And speaking of off nights, Butler's A.J. Graves was colder than the weather in the Bulldogs' loss to Cleveland State - and yes the IU loss to that school was mentioned in the article. Remember? From the article:
It's been 21 years since Cleveland State made its memorable NCAA tourney run when guard Kenny "Mouse" McFadden and cast of unknowns upset Bobby Knight's Hoosiers and Saint Joseph's before losing in a regional semifinal to David Robinson and Navy.

Twenty-one years! Say it isn't so. Seems like just yesterday. Time, where go'eth thee?

World turns; sun's getting higher in the sky; and it's breakfast time.
