Friday Wrap: The Boys, Sampson poll, etc.


The boys, Eric's Lucas and Ian, are over for the next 36 hours. Eric is off to Louisville with several ND coaches (football) for some kind of workshop. Diane is off to Indy tomorrow delivering some blankets she has made, a bunch of them, for hospital kids (I believe). The boys and I are going on at least one walk, each of us with our own camera, going on a photo shoot. Might even have to go on over to the golf course if the sun is really warm and the temperatures get midway into the 40's.

From cbssports.com, a poll on what to do with Kelvin Sampson in which 64%, including me, said to fire him right now. Wow.

A couple of familiar names are on top of the leaderboards on the PGA and LPGA tours: Phil Mickelson and Annika Sorenstam. No Michelle Wie anywhere - guess I got bad dope or something.

No movie today. Did more reading about The Coldest Winter. Stalin and Mao Zedong were front and center today - a couple of really bad guys in the last century. Joe Stalin for his bloodied consolidation of power; Mao for his eventual madness. In the long term, looks like China is going to come out looking much better than Russia. We are in the China Century, right? Or at least that is heard every now and then. Think I'll reserve judgment for a bit. They sure have something special going on right now though.

So it goes.
