An abbreviated WE today. I have to leave at 6:15 for my son's last junior football game. I'd like to sleep on the way, but I'm driving, so that makes it tough. I might take a snooze when I get there, but I'll probably end up reading a bit and taking an exercise walk or two. After I get back in late morning, football is done for the year. I'm looking forward to it, though I've also greatly enjoyed seeing my second oldest son eat up a number running backs and plowing over defensive linemen. Next year, he moves up a weight class, so I'm guessing he'll be back to riding the bench and playing offensive lineman. We'll see.
If you haven't noticed, I've changed my posting approach. I've opted for one or two long posts that are loosely meshed together. I'm curious to know what you think. Please email me and let me know (email link on the left).
Most of you know that I like Wikipedia, but I have serious reservations. I'm not the only one. Many are watching, seeing if this odd thing can ever become a fully reliable research source. Here's the latest.
And finally: I'm reeling from the Tigers' 4-1 loss in the World Series. It's bitter medicine, but no Tigers fan can complain. We were the second worst team in the history of the game just three years ago. Now, we're atop the American League with a bevy of young arms, dedicated players, a great manager, and a sharp general manager. I think the next five to ten years are going to be very good to the Tigers. Congratulations to the Cardinals. From what I can tell, they're a classy organization in a great baseball town.
