Quote of the Day

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Ulysses, Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The Incredible Snoring Kingston

A big thank you to my cousin RJ for letting me crash at his apartment for the Big East tournament this week. Darge – you’re the best!

With that said, RJ has a 3-year-old bulldog named Kingston, who I absolutely 100 percent adore, but who can snore like a mother-effer. Every night around midnight, Kingston mysteriously finds his squeaky chew toy, which he hasn’t noticed at all during the rest of the day. Monday night, King carried that thing around for about an hour before he finally settled down. At some point during the night I rolled over on it in the aerobed. At another point in the night, Kingston jumped off the couch and onto my head. And then I woke up in the morning to the ruckus you hear above.

But look at his face! I can’t be mad!! I also liked when he thought my hair straightener was attacking me while I was packing and came flying out of nowhere to protect me from what I’m assuming he saw as a cord/choking hazard.

Can someone please buy me a puppy? They’re too freakin’ cute.

Clips with Coach: HOW SWEET IT IS

The best “shot” of the weekend was the one ESPN got of Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg being hugged by his daughters after his Hokies upset then #1 Duke Saturday night. Despite the loss, I am sure Coach K could appreciate it – he has certainly had his share of those special moments with his own three girls.

It reminded me of the famous St. Joe’s last second 49-48 upset of #1 DePaul in the first round of the 1981 NCAA Tournament – when Coach Jim Lynam’s co-ed daughter Dei ran out of the stands to jump in her father’s arms (today he is a proud grandfather with eight grandchildren).
