Hearing Throwing Muses, Night Driving Hi folks -- hope you had a good weekend. Here's a picture I snapped on campus just now; some folks have been busy all morning setting up stuff on the lawn (which are those black boxes you can see stacked up):

Apparently, it's for some sort of shindig this week (yay), though it's for some other group (boo).

It's kind of a crummy pic, but that's only because it's a zoom/crop of this wider shot here, which is a bit more interesting, because of the blue, cloudless sky and the leading lines of the sidewalk:

The building on the left is CC2; the one on the right is CC1, which is where I am.

This being Monday, I am catching up on all my mails and such from my various accounts. I do owe responses out to bunches of folks, so apologies if you've written to me lately and haven't heard back from me yet.

In other news, local college and #11 seed George Mason is off to the Final 4 in Indianapolis. (Note: Do not confuse this George Mason with this George Mason.)

I know a lot of folks in the area who have gone to or are going to Mason, so congratulations to all you Patriots.

Blogger John wrote about it; also, Mister Irrelevant himself, Jamie Mottram, goes one (even two) better, since he was at the Verizon Center for the regional final -- see his thoughts and photos from the game, blogged.

Also, in the spirit of nepotism, see perpetual-intern Chris's entries in his Saved by the Blog (remember: he hates because he fears).

Thanks -- Joe

  Bah!  You would have to remind me about George Mason.  They destroyed what was left of my brackets for the Final Four.  Now, I know why I didn't go into sportscasting.
