Sunday musings: college football, books, politics, the world and the weather, too!

-Did you know that Nate Montana, Joe's son, is a backup quarterback at Notre Dame? I didn't... A story about him here. And, yes, the Irish did not look good yesterday though they did win. Michigan next. Hoosiers and Boilermakers also won. Easily.

-Got two books started and one that is calling me that came in the mail yesterday: Janet Evanovich's Three to Get Deady, a Stephanie Plum novel, which is just good fun and a great escape; Haruko Taya Cook & Theodore F. Cook's Japan at War, an oral history, which sister Sarah sent me a month or so back and which I am finding more than interesting - the stories are from the guys on the other side during the Pacific part of WWII, the Japanese; and Gavan Daws Prisoners of the Japanese which should offer a quite different perspective on that same Pacific War.

-Obama was in Terre Haute yesterday. Cool. Looking for Indiana to go Blue this November. Wouldn't surprise me.

-Benazir Bhutto's widower has been elected president of Pakistan. Sea change happening over there, too.

-Weather change here in Loogootee, from the oven heat of a few days back to Fall like weather yesterday and now today as well. Nice.
