I very much enjoyed Yeah Right’s treatise on how to deal with a certain demographic subgroup of scalliwags and ne’er do-wells. I must say that finding/surrounding yourself with good people is a near-herculean task. I’ve been at the helm since 2005 and 11 years on feel myself to be very, very close. It takes quite a bit of time-folks that you thought would embrace change and increased responsibility sometimes feel that they “made it” and begin to slacken. Being in a small community means that you don’t have a large pool of people to draw from and must “make do” far more often than you would like. Ah well, it’s a battle no matter what your individual circumstances are, isn’t it? Let’s forget that stuff for a few hours shall we? TO THE GAMES!

As almost always the NBA finds itself without 2 teams 3 games over .500 playing each other. The Warriors are fun to watch and they get to eviscerate the once proud, now algor mortis-afflicted corpse of the Lakers. How’s that for an inconvenient truth, Kobe? The young ‘uns of the same sport have taken the form of #24 SMOO playing Cincy, 20-10 Wiscy doing the #15 Purdue and the keeper of the day, #14 Maryland versus #12 Indy. The NHL comes charging through your screen with several visual treats-them being DAL/OTT, PIT/NY, NYI/NYR, DET/CHI and STL/MIN.

Oh, by the by, if you want to watch pretty much every single Fivehead Manning pass on a continual loop you can run to the NFL Network. I’d advise against it but if you do, IT WAS NICE KNOWING YOU.
