Merry Christmas!!

Actually, I was just thinking about doing the drawing of Christmas gift exchange names for this year. Does anyone think it’s still too early for that? Let me know if you do – and if you still haven’t sent your Christmas gift to whomever you had this past Christmas, I hope you’ve already apologized/explained why no gift/justified. I’m sure it’s OK and I’m sure you’re forgiven. I know this Christmas was a pretty tight one for a lot of us.

On an unrelated note, I’m afraid Joe is going to win our little contest of which of us will find new employment first. It seems his job skills are in much more demand than those of a good manager. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! We’ll let you know as soon as anything changes here in San Diego.

Happy Irish!

SO, it’s Spring Break here, and since I have nothing better to do I decided to figure out just how Irish I am.

Our (meaning me and my siblings) 7th-Great Grandparents, Daniel Malone and Mary Busby, were born in Ireland in the 1640s. So that makes us 1/512 Irish.

I found a calculator online that figures blood volume using gender, height, and weight, and it said I have 5.97 liters of blood. Doing the math and conversions, it turns out I have about 2.4 teaspoons of Irish blood flowing through me. Who knew?

Future WCC title game?

As we’re waiting for the tipoff of the Michigan game, anyone else think Gonzaga looked scary good last night? Moved the ball well (especially against the zone), ran the floor, monster night on the boards, shot lights-out, and on and on. All this made even more magnificent by comparing it to the lackluster, complacent, sloppy Cougs.

And Jimmer said he was happy with their play in the post-game press conference? I’ve only seen two games this year, and I wasn’t impressed with half of them.

Do any of you think the Cougs will get to wear their road blues in this tourney? If so, why; if not, why not? Discuss!

PS-any arguments based purely on loyalty will be politely disregarded.
