Got QB yesterday. Started early, put it aside most of the day and went back late at night to finish it.

This may be worthy of a groan, too.   But more on that later, perhaps.

Discussion: Bring Out Your Dead! The celebrity death thread....

On January and February Saturday afternoons in the ’70s, I had almost as much fun following the antics of coaches like Lou Carnesecca at St. John’s, Rollie Massimino at Villanova and Jim Valvano at Iona on the sideline as I did watching the action on the court in locally televised, pre-Big East college basketball games.

Nobody, including Bob Knight, wore a sweater better.

Lou Carnesecca, St. John’s Basketball Coach With 526 Wins, Is Dead at 99 (NYT gift link)

I was at SJU his last year and worked in the Financial Aid Office. He would stop by every now and then. He was such a nice guy. RIP.

I think it's cute that there are some people who think Bondi and Patel are going to root out corruption and eliminate abuses of civil liberties in their respective organizations. 

They're like Linus in the pumpkin patch. 

even more like Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football.

Discussion: What series should I watch next?

Watching Season 2 of The Diplomat with Keri Russel and Rufus Sewell. Enjoying it, maybe more than Season 1. Lots of good, complex characters. 

I just finished season 2- agree that it’s better than Season One.  The season ending episode is fantastic!
