First,A quick thanks to my friends,Greg and Hank for coming over and watching the USA-Canada games,which was quite a letdown.Not only was it a pretty dull game,but we missed a few minutes as Hank got a sub and missed the Jamie Benn goal for Canada,which of course was the games only goal!
The game wasn't great,but the company was!
The host Russians didn't medal,seeming to be destroyed by a shootout loss to the Americans,but the New Yorker featured an interesting article on "rooting for Russian Hockey".
I can understand as it really isn't about the Russians in general,but more about the free flowing game as the former Soviet Union played.
It was a beautiful game to watch and the memories of those teams are so crisp,but to many they are overwhelmed by the USA's win in the 1980 Olympics.
The famous "Eisenhower" tree the was the protector of the 17th green at Augusta National golf course was damaged by the recent southern ice storm.
Damaged is quite the understatement as the tree was forced to be removed after arborists determined that the tree could not be saved,
The tree got its name from the former President,who hit the tree so often in his Augusta visits that he asked the Augusta directors if it could be removed.
The board denied the request and it then added the name thereafter.
The tree has been taken down and no word if a tree will be put into place in time for the 2014 Masters,although a tree was planted a few years ago,close to the tree's spot as a future plan for the inevitable day of the tree's demise.
The hole will look different,if they cannot get something in its place....
Really enjoyed the lightweight first round of ESPN's Boxcino tourney,but one quibble-I wish the first round was eight rounds not six.
It seems odd for ten round fighters to be fighting in six round bouts.
Otherwise,I love it!
Comcast and Time Warner cable to merge?
Well,the top two cable systems in the country coming together doesn't seem like a great idea for consumers,but Comcast has gotten away with similar moves before (buying NBC Universal),so I have little hope that this deal will be blocked...
Finally,some movement on the interview front!
One in the books,another with questions sent and a third agreed to,so we are starting to make some progress.
I just need to get some others finished to send them out.
