Knight, Clemens, Rain, Voting

Bob Knight resigned from coaching. Hope he finds the pasture where he's headed pleasant. Did you happen to see the cbssports.com article and the attached polling question? Haven't heard yet from daughter Danielle, a basketball player and fan, but both sons have come in with mixed feelings about this complex man. My own feelings and thoughts are far less mixed.

Roger Clemens testifying in Washington. Insists he did not use illegal drugs or performance enhancing drugs. I'll take him at his word, at least for now.

Number 1 son Marty noted how his Sunday started with Tiger doing amazing things over in Dubai and ended with the Giants doing some amazing things down in Arizona. His words:
Regarding Tiger and this day in sports: I watched the Dubai tourney on the Golf Channel early in the day . . . and while I was prepared for Ernie to win, I was inspired watching Tiger buckle down and do what he had to do to take the win from Ernie. Magnificent athlete, I'm fortunate to be alive while Tiger does his thing. Wow. Then, the Super Bowl, another inspiring experience, watching a team (not an individual) do that same thing that Tiger did. Reach out and grab the win, showing the world they were better than the mighty Pats on this day. What a great day in sports.

It was.

It's mild and raining. Yippee for the mild and darn for the rain.

Super Tuesday and a lot of people are out casting a vote for who they hope will get the nomination and eventually the presidency. Heard some comments on pbs news last night when they were discussing the last Bush budget just presented to Congress that the next president was going to be handed a whole raft of problems with which to deal. You can say that about more than the economy, or at least some of us could. If I were voting today, I'ld be voting for the lady; that would be Hillary, HRC, Senator Clinton. But, alas, got to wait a bit. The pundits are already talking about the votes down the road a piece and how important they might turn out to be. Might even get to Indiana (do I remember May 6th correctly?) where our votes could be critical. Wow. That's something.
