Wednesday Wrap: Pacers Win! More Manchester, etc.

Closing notes to a beautiful fall day:

-Holy Cow! Pacers win their opening game over the Wizards. New coach (Jim O'Brien) batting 1.000.

-William Manchester, in Goodbye, Darkness, not so lucky. Batting 0 for 2 in trying to lose his virginity. And now he's on the troop ship heading out of San Diego for the sunny, war torn skies of the Pacific, more particularly, Guadalcanal. A young, skinny Marine who has yet to make love to or kill another human being. Things are bound to change. (That would be some sixty-five years ago for those of you keeping track.)

-Netflix movie time: a honey of a tale: Heavenly Creatures. A couple of teenage girls getting close and having a whale of a hard time making things ok in 1953 and 1954 New Zealand. Great movie. Gets a five from me.

-reminder: Senior Games start at 10 tomorrow morning.
