America’s fittest cities according to Gallup, are almost all in states begnning with a C. The two anomalies? Massachusetts and Nevada (both of which border on C-States). This obvious and important factor in your fitness has not yet been studied, but I expect it soon will be.
Meanwhile, as you get your brackets set (there’s still [...]

Amazing game last night as the Louisville Cardinels took it to Oklahoma and are moving on to the national championship game. Angel McCoughtry came back after a dismal first half and scored 14 of her 18 points in the second frame as she helped her team put away the Sooners. Now they have the dubious [...]
The news of Natasha Richardson is so sobering and shocking and sad … what can happen in a split second. My heart goes out to the family. Ugh.
Reading about that, I don’t have the stomach for AIG or soccer or basketball this morning. Not at the moment, at least. I’ll come back to it. I’m [...]
As you gear up for March Madness, check out this great women’s basketball time-line – from Helen Wheelock of Women’sBasketballOnline.com.
Looking at the time-line that runs through the ’70’s makes me feel a whole lot better about losing to the West Chester State freshman team year after year after year.
And check out this article by Senda [...]

Lincoln’s birthday … always an important date in my Book of Days. I do wish that we had never gone the President’s Day route – just too generic for my taste. I was not consulted, however.
Bookeaters are celebrating Mr. Lincoln’s birth with a perusal of Daniel Mark Epstein’s book, The Lincoln’s: Portrait of a Marriage. [...]
First off, is Andrew Card crazy? He’s tweaked about Obama disrespecting the office of the Presidency. Why? Because Obama changed the dress code at the White House. Good grief. Is that what Andrew Card really thinks? Is he a grown-up? (And I loved the comments on this piece … especially the one about how the [...]
First off, the UConn Huskies are a scary-good basketball team! The women, I’m talking about. They played Louisville last night. While the Cardinals stayed with them through part of the first half, by the second half the Huskies had blown open a huge lead. Louisville’s Angel McCoughtry is certainly an amazing player to watch, with [...]
Here’s the Women’s b-ball weekend TV schedule – for those who want to study-up for March!
Rutgers-Louisville on Sunday looks interesting on ESPNU. (I wouldn’t want to be facing Rutgers right now, after their loss to the Lady Vols).
Remember – all times are Central – check your local listings.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 10
Florida Southern College at Barry

Have you been having trouble this week keeping track of what day it is? I’m not complaining about the Thursday Holidays, mind you – but it’s made for some serious disorientation. Nice and quiet at work, though. I’ve been digging through things I hadn’t gotten to for months, and my in-box is down to just [...]
The USWNT plays China in snowy Detroit today (while the UAW and the rest of us wait for news of the auto industry bailout … and snow falls in Michigan, and here in NH .. and presumably pretty much everywhere in between)! After what Pia did with this team in the Olympics … Obama might [...]
I’m thinking that title doesn’t even make sense. But that aside, it went well today, going back to work. Nice to get back, actually. That’s not to say I wouldn’t love a few more hours free each day – or a bit more sleep. But complaining would be beyond unseemly in the current economic climate, [...]
Germany-Japan are underway and Japan is looking goo so far (17th minute). meanwhile, I can’t imagine what the USWNT must be feeling right now. Hopefully they are focused and confident. Their making it to the gold medal match is a wonderful accomplishment and, at the very least, has brought the eyes and attention of many [...]

Tomorrow at 6AM we’ll start the next leg of the Olympic tournament journey. There’s not a lot in the way of soccer news in the interim. The WNT Blog is a good place to track the USWNT’s travels and preparation for tomorrow’s showdown with Canada. An upbeat and determined Canadian squad is looking for a [...]

I didn’t stay up late enough to actually see Michael Phelps and his relay teammates get the gold – but what a stunner as Jason Lezak anchored an amazing race! (I was aiming to watch past 9PM, but when Bob Costas started interviewing a smirking GW Bush I had to call it a night.) Anyway [...]
